[Sans-Culotte]

It was extraordinary how clean everyone was in that movie and their perfect hairdos.

That's because it was a "storybook" approach to the story in blazing technicolor. The Adventures of Robin Hood is easily in my top 3 movies of all time list. From what I have read of the medieval period, I would not want more realism. We 21st century types would probably die from the stench of the 12th century. I'll take the technicolor version any day.

A lot of the modern movies about the middle ages do show the filth and brutality. Try Braveheart, especially the execution scene.
