Robin and Marian is a 1976 British/American co-produced romantic adventure period film filmed in Pamplona, Spain starring Sean Connery as Robin Hood, Audrey Hepburn as Lady Marian, Nicol Williamson as Little John, Robert Shaw as the Sheriff of Nottingham and Richard Harris as King Richard. It also features comedian Ronnie Barker in a rare film role as Friar Tuck. The film marked Hepburn's return to the screen after an eight year absence. Director Richard Lester made Robin and Marian amid a series of period pieces, including The Three Musketeers. The screenplay was written by James Goldman.... The original music score was composed by John Barry. The film was to have originally been titled The Death of Robin Hood but was changed by Columbia Pictures to be more marketable and perhaps give equal billing to Audrey Hepburn. An ageing Robin Hood is a trusted captain fighting for Richard the Lion-Heart in France, the Crusades long over. Richard orders him to take a castle that is rumoured to hold a gold statue.
