The legend of the English outlaw who robbed from the rich to give to the poor is found in literature dating from 1377. The first film to feature the outlaw is believed to be Robin Hood and His Merry Men, produced in the United Kingdom in 1909. The major films on the subject are Robin Hood (produced in the United States in 1921/ 1922, with Douglas Fairbanks in the title role), The Adventures of Robin Hood (produced in the United States in 1938, with Errol Flynn in the title role), and The Story of Robin Hood (an American production filmed in England in 1952, with Richard Todd in the title role). Richard Greene starred in the popular British television series, The Adventures of Robin Hood, which was seen on CBS from 1955 to 1958.
