Post Description

History Channel. The marauding mercenary of English        
folklore is one of history"s best-known tales, and the     
legend of Robin Hood is the inspiration for more movies,   
radio and TV programs than any other folk hero. But the    
image of a hero in tights and a feathered cap is a somewhat
recent addition to the myth. In reality, Robin Hood is a   
composite of several historical figures whose exploits date
back to the age of the Crusades. In the film Robin Hood,   
starring Russell Crowe, director Ridley Scott"s production 
is based on the most solid and recent historical research  
into the character and promises a startlingly fresh        
interpretation of Robin Hood for a new generation. This    
special will distinguish between historical evidence and   
Hollywood fiction, and seek to create a realistic portrait 
of the mythical hero. Includes clips from the film as well 
as interviews with director Scott, principal Robin Hood    
cast members and renowned historians.
