LIMITED EDITION TWILIGHT TIME BLU RAY COMPETITION : FIVE COPIES OF HAMMER SHERWOOD FOREST TO BE WON NEXT WEEK!

AS TWO PCASUK competitions close and make for some very happy Cushing fans . . . we launch another great competition VERY SOON . . . and courtesy of Twilight Time we launch another great region free blu ray competition NEXT WEEK! Peter Cushing made for such a great Sheriff of Nottingham. You think?

HAMMER FILMS 'SWORD OF SHERWOOD FOREST' (1960) is a big-screen adaptation of the popular television series, The Adventures of Robin Hood (1955-59); it stars the same dashing actor, Richard Greene, as the aristo man of the people, and is directed by Terence Fisher, a Hammer favorite who also helmed many of the series episodes. As in so many adaptations of the classic tale, we have the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham (a superb Peter Cushing), the lovely Maid Marian (a plush Sarah Branch), and a handful of terrific cross-the-pond actors: Niall MacGinnis, Richard Pasco, Jack Gwillim, Nigel Green, and even – in a tiny role – Oliver Reed.

'SWORD OF SHERWOOD FOREST' Starring: Richard Greene, Peter Cushing, Niall MacGinnis, Richard Pasco, Jack Gwillim, Sarah Branch, Oliver Reed Video: 1080p High Definition / 2.35:1 / Color Audio: English 1.0 DTS-HD MA Subtitles: English SDH Theatrical Release: 1960 Runtime: 80 Minutes Rating: NR (Not Rated) Region Code: Region Free (A/B/C) Special Features: Isolated Music & Effects Track / Original Theatrical Trailer

NEWS: ANOTHER HAMMER FILMS BLU RAY RELEASE DUE FOR OCTOBER 2018!

NEWS : IT'S A GOOD TIME for any Peter Cushing and Hammer film fan looking to update their dvd collection some BLU RAY gems! Twilight Time has just revealed details of their new release of SWORD OF SHERWOOD FOREST (1960) Personally, my fav of the Hammer Robin Hood films, with Peter Cushing as The Sheriff of Nottingham, Richard Greene THE Robin Hood, Nigel Green as Little John and Oliver Reed As Lord Melton! Niall MacGinnis plays the best Friar Tuck, Richard Pascoas Edward Earl of Newark and Sarah Branch as Maid Marion. Directed by Terence Fisher, it makes for excellent Sunday afternoon viewing 🙂 Special Features include Alun Hoddinott's isolated Music track plus an effects Track too and the Original Theatrical Trailer! 

IT WILL BE INTERESTING to see if this print too will be like all the others, where Oliver Reed's voice is not heard; he's dubbed throughout by another (anonymous) actor attempting to sound like Reed's normal voice. Reed's own voice is heard in the film's trailer, where he adopts a very camp lisping French accent!
