• Producers initially intended to cast Albert Finney as Robin Hood and Sean Connery as Little John.
• The film was released in Soviet cinemas under the title «The Return of Robin Hood».
• The film was not shot in England, but in Spain.
• To a certain extent, Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) agreed to play Marian because of her sons. When her younger sons learned that Sean Connery (1930-2020) had been cast as Robin Hood, they began to beg her to accept the role because then she would be acting “with James Bond himself.” The actress agreed.
• Ezmond Knight (1906-1987) lost an eye during the Battle of the Denmark Strait (which took place in May 1941). For the cameo role he played at the beginning of the film, he removed his glass eye.
• Despite the not always laudatory reviews regarding the film's ending, in which Robin and Marian died, Sean Connery always maintained that he enjoyed the film. After many years of playing the same character in the James Bond films, he was happy to play someone in a film that would definitely not have a sequel.
• Producers initially intended to give the role of Robin Hood to Albert Finney, and the role of Little John to Sean Connery.
• The film was shown in Soviet cinemas under the title 'The Return of Robin Hood'.
