Synopsis
"The Arrows of Robin Hood" (1976) is a Soviet adventure film — watch online on iFILM. Directed by Sergei Tarasov at the Riga Film Studio and drawn from English medieval ballads, it follows Robin Hood (Boris Khmelnitsky) and his band of archers as they harass corrupt clergy and feudal lords across medieval England. Getting caught is never really part of the plan.
The story centers on an archery contest where Robin enters under a false identity. Ivar Kalnins, Yuri Kamorny, Vija Artmane and Alexander Belyavsky make up the surrounding cast.
One thing separates this version from other takes on the legend: Vladimir Vysotsky wrote and performed all the songs. His voice gives the film a weight the adventure itself doesn't always carry on its own. Stream "The Arrows of Robin Hood" (1976) online on iFILM.
