Robin Hood is a rebel. Of course he is not a paternal figure! A rebel who was a bit on in years would begin to be a grim and sorry figure, one without hope or prospects. Even so, Errol Flynn's Robin Hood has,when necessary, a gravitas and seriousness that looks well beyond the teen-age heroes of today; remember when he states the case for the serfs to the aristocratic Maid Marian, who listens in bewilderment. You can't imagine the Dean Cain Superman acting with such force.
