I'm aware that Derann released "The Adventures of Robin Hood", but was there other versions besides the feature length release?

Thanks Andrew and was it Marketing Films that had the 3 x 400' version? Was there ever a 2 x 400 release?

"Robin Hood: The Infallible Bowman" was an Italian film released by Techno Film. It was dubbed into English and my 3 x 400' copy is in black & white.

If you are talking about the Errol Flynn version Derann also issued 2 official self-contained edited extracts and 1 or 2 semi official reels of extra scenes that could be edited into the main ones (which also needed editing to make a coherent story. These were early releases on SP and my copies have faded, this was before they got the Red Fox negatives.

Joe Taffis just corrected me that the Red Fox full-length feature was sold on 6x400' reels as well.
