Doctor Syn

[tenaya]

Anyone remember that lovely movie with Patrick McGoohan? It was based on the novels of Russell Thorndike and they have been out of print for decades. Apparently, some publishing house has reprinted them because Amazon has a few titles of the series, published in June of 2004. I'm so excited! That movie though...I was utterly captivated by McGoohan's Dr. Syn. Powerful, mysterious, heroic and a total rogue--when he wasn't being the milktoast vicar. And he was sexy as hell. I must have been all of 5 years old when I was swept away by the goings on at Romney Marsh.

Did I mention I was excited?

I don't know anything about Swamp Fox. Tell me more.... ;-)

BTW, I'm heading up north for a long weekend. I'll catch up later.

It too was a "Wonderful World of Disney" series, predating the Scarecrow by 5 years. It aired in 1959. It was about Francis Marion, revolutionary war hero, played by Leslie Nielsen. Patrick Macnee is credited as "British captain"! Here's what
IMDB has to say.

Hope you have fun. I'm going to the mini Ren Faire in Long Beach tomorrow.
