A bit of Southall Film Studios history. Yes, I did buy this because it was made at Southall Film studios and it comes from a period of time when a company called Group 3, headed by John Grierson, were making these light hearted satirical features. Commentators at the time apparently said it was "too silly for words" but I suspect that was exactly how it should have seemed. Margaret Rutherford is on top form as is Richard Hearne. I laughed a lot and thought the whole film a tonic away from today's fayre. The picture and sound quality is excellent. Other films from the same studio and also on Slam Dunk DVD are "Time Gentlemen Please"; "You're Only Young Twice" and "Brandy for the Parson".

Meet the elderly Miss Robin Hood. The inimitable Margart Rutherford here fits perfectly into the role of an elderly female "Robin Hood" aiding and abetting in a plan to steal from the rich in order to restore what they stole to the poor. Expect plenty of wild chases, flocks of pigeons, scatterings of currency notes, and cameo roles from many of your favourite players of the 1950s. You get plenty of Margaret Rutherford for your money, and a top quality DVD restoration.

Margaret rutherford fan. Not my favourite rutherford film, but still worth a look, my kids liked it, they became fans after I made them sit through all the Marple vids! I buy them b&w type dvds and we watch them on a sunday afternoon, a fun way to show them life before playstation!

Hilarious!. Wow! I had no idea how good this was going to be. I laughed out loud all the way through. A cast of excellent British comedy talent and a story that is both for children and adults (a little postcard saucy in places!)
Rutherford is a unique talent and matched against James Robertson Justice she's always at her best! Just a great film that deserves to be seen by a wider audience but probably won't be as it is in black and white!

Margaret Ruthford . This long lost comedy classic is a must to all those who love Margaret Rutherford and a large cast of well know's cast along of course with here bumbberling Husband Stringer Davis bring up the rear with a small part of his own. It's a film i remember from my youth but it's one of those films that never get's on tv any more which is a shame But know it's out there for all to see once more it bring's back my childhood every saturday afternoon in front of the tv with my bag of crisps and a fizzy drink
