What critics say influenced Robin and Marian
It is touching and revealing to see the lovers in middle age in " Robin and Marian " (1976), with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn bridging the poignancy of their long separation, but how much more satisfying on an elementary level to see Flynn and de Havilland playing their characters as the instruments of fate; they come together not simply because of love or desire, but because they are so destined.
Part of the reason is a bad screenplay by James Goldman, who wrote the excellent play The Lion in Winter.
Robin and Marian is what you'd get if you gene-spliced ''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'' with ''Rooster Cogburn'': Screenwriter James Goldman, author of ''The Lion in Winter'' (and brother of ''Butch'' scripter William), takes a late-life look at Robin Hood.
