Reception
Robin Hood generally received favorable reviews. It received an "Fresh" aggregate score of 100% and an average Average Rating of 8.6/10 from Rotten Tomatoes based on 7 reviews. Combustible Celluloid's Jeffrey M. Anderson rated the movie, concluding "Director Allan Dwan had worked with Fairbanks on several two-reelers, and would go on to direct his last silent film, The Iron Mask (1929). Dwan would continue working, making "B" pictures up until the 1960s, and finishing up with something like 500 films on his resume before he died. But Robin Hood is arguably his masterpiece.".

The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks.
