Hawkyns Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 and released Scarecrow, 45 years later. Some friends are just receiving their copies, mine should be here in a few days. Wonderful movie with Patrick McGoohan as Dr. Syn, parson by day, smuggler by night. Great 18th century stuff, one of the classics. I'm still trying to acquire a full set of the books by Russel Thorndike. Anybody else getting a copy? Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.
blackjohn Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 (Mod Note. I merged Hawkyns' query into this topic. Carry on.) My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.

blackjohn Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 That's ok. And it is cool to see this much enthusiasm for such a neat old film! My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Capn Bob Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Well, guess what done fell of the stern of a treasure galleon... Got me copy of The Scarecrow last night! Watched some, will be watching more today (had no chance watching it all through yet, since we had to take me mother in for blood transfusion this morning) Damn, thats sharp!
Capt Grey Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Hope your mom is doing okay, Capn Bob. I guess when I chose Free Shipping for my order that meant I had to wait an extra amount of days. My estimated delivery date is Monday, November 17. It's funny to think this movie would probably be rated TV-14 today for the violence shown. Back when it first aired on the Wonderful World of Disney it was "family entertainment" which generally meant a G rating. I wish we had more "family entertainment" programs like this but with the advent of cable we have segregated our viewers in to neat little packages with not a lot of cross-over. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
Capn Bob Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 BBC reports that Patrick McGoohan has died at the age of 80. Here's a link to the story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/5083460.stm Let us all hope he finds his way to Fiddler's Green, and let us all find a way to commerorate this great actor. For myself, I shall play (again) the Scarecrow tomorrow, And will take out a bunch of the Prisoner series from the library next week. Damn, thats sharp!
Raphael Misson Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 The library actually had a copy of this and I must say, what a splendid show! Good costuming and splendid locations, a wonderful cast and a great story. You almost feel like McGoohan was made to play this role. (I want an owl scarecrow mask like that kid had. Very cool.) Top notch, all the way around. It's kind of sad they made this a limited DVD release. Definitely see it if you can. “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.
