經典的羅賓漢影集 - The Adventures of Robin Hood (1955)
這段期間,我差不多把英、美主流片廠所拍攝過的「羅賓漢」電影又再看過一遍了。但是,對於「羅賓漢」這個題材,電視影集所能發揮的空間,是要遠遠大於電影的,而幾乎每隔一段期間,英、美的電視台,都會有風靡當代觀眾的「羅賓漢」影集出現。
台灣也曾播出的「羅賓漢」
我是沒空一一去看這些影集。據說,在台灣電視早期,有播過英國 1955-1960 年所製播的羅賓漢影集 "The Adventures of Robin Hood",該影集是由 Richard Greene 飾演羅賓漢,當年在英、美兩地都非常轟動。
←← Richard Greene 的羅賓漢扮相,他是和 Errol Flynn 一樣的緊身褲裝扮。 ← 這部 50 多年前的影集,還有發行 DVD,是許多年長者心目中的輕典。 |

我年紀太輕(yes!),對這部影集完全沒有印象,沒辦法好好介紹。會提到這部影集,主要是要介紹它的主題曲。
我在「Monty Python and Robin Hood」一文中,有介紹了一首惡搞歌曲〈丹尼斯.摩爾之歌〉,那首歌,就是從這部影集的主題歌所改編而成。原曲如下(只有歌曲,沒有畫面):
ROBIN HOOD
Theme from U.K. TV Series “The Adventures Of Robin Hood"
-- Dick James
Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
riding through the glen
Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin HoodHe called the greatest archers
to a tavern on the green
They vowed to help the people of the king
They handled all the troubles
on the English country scene
And still found plenty of time to singRobin Hood, Robin Hood,
riding through the glen
Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin HoodHe came to Sherwood Forest
with a feather in his cap
A fighter never looking for a fight
His bow was always ready,
and he kept his arrows sharp.
He used them to fight for what was rightRobin Hood, Robin Hood,
riding through the glen
Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood羅賓漢,羅賓漢,
策馬過峽谷
羅賓漢,羅賓漢,
好漢在身旁
惡人懼,好人愛
羅賓漢,羅賓漢,羅賓漢他召集最佳弓箭手,
聚集原野上
誓約幫助國王的子民
他們在鄉間
化解所有困難
餘暇時便高聲歡唱羅賓漢,羅賓漢,
策馬過峽谷
羅賓漢,羅賓漢,
好漢在身旁
惡人懼,好人愛
羅賓漢,羅賓漢,羅賓漢帽上插著羽毛,
他來到雪伍森林
一個與世無爭的鬥士
他弓隨時蓄勢,
他箭銳利待發
他用弓箭為正義而戰羅賓漢,羅賓漢,
策馬過峽谷
羅賓漢,羅賓漢,
好漢在身旁
惡人懼,好人愛
羅賓漢,羅賓漢,羅賓漢翻譯:Fafner
從 Errol Flynn 的羅賓漢後,主流電影公司很久不碰羅賓漢,多多少少也是因為電視影集已填補了這段空白。Monty Python 會在他們的節目中惡搞這首歌,可見這部影集,一定是他們幼時的回憶!
