Powerhouse Films under their Indicator label are due to release a Robin Hood at Hammer boxset that contains two films, Sword of Sherwood Forest (1960) and A Challenge for Robin Hood (1967).
Sword of Sherwood Forest stars Richard Greene as Robin Hood and Peter Cushing as the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Meanwhile A Challenge for Robin Hood sees Barrie Ingham take up the title role of Robin.
