Robin and Marian is a 1976 romantic Technicolor adventure period film in Panavision, directed by Richard Lester and written by James Goldman, based on the legend of Robin Hood. It stars Sean Connery as Robin Hood, Audrey Hepburn as Lady Marian, Nicol Williamson as Little John, Robert Shaw as the Sheriff of Nottingham and Richard Harris as Richard the Lionheart. It also features comedian Ronnie Barker in a rare film role as Friar Tuck. It was filmed in Zamora, Spain. The film marked Hepburn's return to the screen after an eight-year absence.
Lester made Robin and Marian amid a series of period pieces, including The Three Musketeers (1973). The original music score was composed by John Barry. The film was to have originally been titled The Death of Robin Hood but was changed by Columbia Pictures to be more marketable, and perhaps give equal billing to Hepburn.
