Robin and Marian

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., July 26, 2001

Frequently underrated, Robin and Marian is a revisionist telling of the familiar tale with the famous couple seen in middle age and abundantly self-aware. If nothing else, the performances of Connery and Hepburn are welcome delights.
