Would have loved to have been there and some insight into Behind-the-Scenes happenings are featured on the Riddle of Robin Hood promotional film which is a gem. As regards this scene where Robin meets Friar Tuck much of the scene is played out on a studio set - which is a breathtakingly good set designed by the now legendary Carmen Dillon. Then as they start their sword fight back past the tree, we switch to an outdoor shoot and this is where ,no doubt, the young boy shouted out to save his father, James Hayter. The location would have been at the back of Denham Studios - still part of the land - and on the River Colne at this point. For those who remember the earlier film Treasure Island, the lake at Denham was used for the scene where the rowing boats landed on the island and it looked great - never bettered. So sad that the old Denham Studios have gone. To film fans the world over this was indeed a magic, if short lived, world where for a few years we had a studio to rank in size and capability along with anything in Hollywood. The Riddle of Robin Hood shows a glimpse of the sheer size of some of the interior sound stages - mostly of the castle set which looked huge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-22105660805803575272008-11-10T09:39:00.000-08:002008-11-10T09:39:00.000-08:00AnInterview with Ken AnnakinWalt DisneyCarmen Dill...AnInterview with Ken Annakin<BR/><BR/>Walt Disney<BR/>Carmen Dillon<BR/>Film ProductionClement Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116966238223089211noreply@blogger.com
