Men of Sherwood Forest is a 1954 British historical adventure film directed by Val Guest and starring Don Taylor, Reginald Beckwith, Eileen Moore, Douglas Wilmer, John Van Eyssen and David King-Wood. The film follows the exploits of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. It was written by Allan MacKinnon and the score was by Doreen Carwithen. This was Hammer's first color feature, and Michael Carreras was so pleased with it, he filmed Break in the Circle in color as his next project. Hammer followed it up with two other Robin Hood films later on. Filming began in May 1954, the film was trade shown on Oct. 27, 1954, and released in UK on Dec. 6, 1954.
