Joan Rice as Marian

Joan Rice as Maid Marian

 

This beautiful movie still of Joan Rice as Maid Marian has recently appeared on an auction site. I have never seen this before. Regular contributor John Nelson has also made me aware of this.

Joan appeared as Maid Marian in Walt Disney's Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men (1952).

Doesn't she look so beautiful and happy?

Recently I featured the design by Michael Whitaker for Joan's costume, which has also been up for auction. 

John has now purchased Whitaker's original drawing and displays it in a quality frame under fade-resistant glass.

Dear Clement Glen,

Thank you so much for that wonderful Joan Rice still which is totally new to me. It is amazing how new material surfaces from time to time from that unique film. We have been sadly missing a good bluray version for a long time. Alas, the Disney Studios do not seem to care much about their classic live-action pictures.
From a faithful reader of your most interesting blog,

Thank you Christian, yes its so frustrating. I have been told the Story of Robin Hood is now being shown on the Disney Plus streaming service. So a little progress.
