Robin Hood: Men in Tights

The HippCinema celebrates Mel Brooks and his centenarian milestone! Comedies, comedies, and more comedies. Get into the spirit of uproarious laughter inspired by our mainstage production You Can't Take It With You. The second film in our festival is Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Crusading nobleman Robin of Loxley (Cary Elwes) escapes from prison in Jerusalem and returns home to find that the evil Prince John (Richard Lewis) has confiscated his family estate and is abusing the citizenry. Robin enlists his blind attendant, Blinkin (Mark Blankfield), his friend Will Scarlett O'Hara (Matthew Porretta) and Little John (Eric Allan Kramer) to help regain his home. Robin also hopes to woo the beautiful Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck), but her chastity belt may prove a challenge.
