He has to have the glory, doesn't he? Glory? Nah. I think he just wants to be loved.

Nytt år, nya filmer. Eller ja... Kanske snarare nygamla... En bra månad om jag får säga så själv.

Captain America (1979) [] Mina anteckningar under filmer: Beige, Orange Jacka, David Hasselhoff-lookalike och Roger Moore-aktig skurk.

Giants of Thessaly, the / I giganti della Tessaglia (1960) [👍🆓] Kul egen take på Jason and the Argonauts-mytoset.

Hotet från Åttonde Dimensionen / Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, the (1984) [👍🔁] Skriven och producerad som en komedi, ämnad att vara lite knäpp och skruvad. Vet inte om jag finner så mycket att skratta åt, men den är underhållande.

Jason and the Argonauts / Det Gyllene Skinnet (1963) [👍🔁]

Robin Hood: Äventyrens man / Robin and Marian (1976) [👍🆓] Sean Connery™, Audrey Hepburn™, Robert Shaw (Quint i Hajen), Richard Harris™, Ian Holm™ och Bill Maynard (Greengrass i Aidensfield ). Vilken jäkla cast va! Rena gottpåsen en helt vanlig måndagskväll.

Robin Hoods Hämnd / Prince of Thieves, the (1948) [🆓]

Rollerball (1975) [🔁]

Sinbad och Tigerns Öga / Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977) [👍🔁🆓]

Sinbads Fantastiska Resa / Golden Voyage of Sinbad, the (1973) [👍🔁🆓]

Spy Hard (1996) [👎🔁] Nä. Ibland skall man verkligen lite på sin egen betygsättning, speciellt när man inte minns något av filmen i övrigt. Weird-Al Yancovich känns dock gjuten i ledmotivet.

Två Man om En Änka (1990) [👍🔁🆓📺🎭] Nils Poppe och favoriten Berit Carlberg.

Två Man om en Änka (2023) [👍🆓📺🎭] Nytolkning med Per Andersson i den ledande rollen. Är ingen stor favorit av Per A. men pjäsen är kul och sevärd.

Virtuosity (1995) [👍] 90-talsraffel om AI, VR och datorer som vägrar dö.

Kan man tycker jag man skall ge Eva Rydbergs sista fredriksdalare en chans. Men känner man sig modig testa Virtuosity som övar överraskande bra. Månadens fynd blir dock annars Robin Hood: Äventyrens Man, en film jag velat se i flera år.

If you've never seen Robin and Marian (1976), you're really missing out: it's one of the small handful of truly essential Robin Hood stories on film; a funny, sad, reflective take on legend, fame and age, with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn at their best, and an excellent supporting cast of familiar British faces. It's a small, pared-down production, but the lack of glossiness adds believability and it contains far more genuine feeling and wisdom than any other attempt at the tale.

★★★★★★★★½☆

THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

QUALIFYING ROUND: 24th Tilt

King Arthur Pendragon, First Knight (1995) VS. Robin Hood, Robin and Marian (1976)

Propaganda

King Arthur Pendragon, First Knight (1995) Portrayed by: Sean Connery

“A lot of my text propaganda for Sean Connery in First Knight might boil down to: why is Guinevere looking at Richard Gere!Lancelot when her husband is RIGHT THERE looking like THAT? And looking at HER like that? And he makes her laugh! And he holds her like she's the most precious thing in the world! And he trusts her political and administrative capabilities (so sexy of him)! A lesser man might look silly waiting for a procession to reach him past standing stones and torches. Not he. Is this movie good? no. Do scenes from it live in my head rent-free? Yes. Sean Connery, just a force field of gravitas and charisma in this thing, as King Arthur ought to be. Also have I mentioned the warmth in his eyes when he looks at her? Not over it.”

Robin Hood, Robin and Marian (1976) Portrayed by: Sean Connery

“Neither Robin Hood nor Sean Connery is in danger of being underrepresented (thank goodness) but it would be a crime not to consider the hotness of Connery!Robin specifically. I wish my calf muscles were that good, for one thing, and his humor and warmth with Marian make my heart melt, for another. Also, that salt-and-pepper beard is REALLY working for him, I think. Also also, was that grin of his ever *not* deadly?”

For King Arthur:

"It's Sean Connery, man."

Audrey Hepburn Summer!

Tonight's watch: Robin and Marian (1976) (Trivia and photos from IMDb)

This film is a story that focuses on Robin Hood as an older man, twenty years after leaving for the Crusades and still in love with Maid Marian, who now is a nun. It's not a perfect film but the leads evoke the characters and their love so beautifully (it is also very sad, though I won't spoil the ending if you are not familiar with the legend of Robin Hood).

This is the first film after Hepburn's nine-year break from Hollywood. She stepped away to raise her family but took on this role at the insistence of her sons, who were huge fans of Sean Connery. The location also allowed her to still be near her family.

This is also the rare film where Hepburn is older than her romantic lead (albeit by one year; she was seven years older than Albert Finney in Two for the Road). In fact, the producer originally wanted Finney as Robin and Connery as Little John.

Despite the storyline, the movie was not filmed in England as some of the main cast were tax exiles. There was some tension on set, though not involving either Hepburn or Connery: according to Denholm Elliott's widow, whenever Robert Shaw, Nicol Williamson, and Richard Harris were together, all hell would break loose, regardless if they were sober or not.

I chose to buy this DVD, but you can also rent it on Amazon.

---

And that's it for Audrey Hepburn Summer! 15 films in 8 weeks - I really enjoyed this chance to dive into one actor's career and see films I've never heard of before or films I wanted to watch but never got to.

Who knows - maybe I'll do a Marilyn Monroe Autumn or a Dorothy Dandridge Spring!
