The Sheriff (Peter Finch) at the head of the table of outlaws |
This very rare image taken from Walt Disney's Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men (1952) was sent to me by Christian.
In this scene the Sheriff of Nottingham (Peter Finch) has been captured by Robin Hood and his men and brought to the outlaws' camp in Sherwood Forest.
The outlaw camp was part of the magnificent sent designed by Carmen Dillon on one of the huge sound stages at Denham Studios in Buckinghamshire. The picture above shows her legendary attention to detail and is an example of why Walt Disney chose her to be the art director (a rare position for a woman in those days) on The Story of Robin Hood. Information about her life and work can be read here.
Below is a list of some of the actors that played Robin Hood's Merrie Men:
John Brooking: - Merrie Man
Ivan Craig: - Merrie Man
John French: - Merrie Man
Richard Graydon :- Merrie Man
Geoffrey Lumsden: - Merrie Man
John Martin: - Merrie Man
