23:18 The Scarecrow at his best. Watched this every Sunday night sitting on the living room floor with my brother,mom in her chair sewing & pop sleeping on the couch. My sister usually yelling in the other part of the house. We would be hollering the Scarecrow scream in the woods until next weeks show.
Yep, Sunday nights with Disney movies on the tv were great. The programming was really exciting and was always something to look forward to watching. My family used to all watch the Disney movies together. Some great memories. I remember watching the Scarecrow movies like it was last week. Thanks for posting Joe.
Should have been in church Sunday nights; but then, maybe your church is just a puppet of the devil, if you even have a church. Ever notice how many liberties Americans have lost since they traded Sunday night church services for television? What a shame! Only _"where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."_ (2 Corinthians 3:17)
You can find those episodes on youtube! I had my son upload. Mutual of Omaha Wildkingdom and the Wonderful World of Disney on our large smart TV. I told him this was the way Sundays nights were like in the late 1960s , early 1970s
Sunday was a good night for TV. We watched the GE College Bowl (quiz show between two schools), Wild Kingdom, Walt Disney, and Bonanza. Ed Sullivan was on CBS at the same time I believe.
The night trial scene in the barn is very memorable and impressively frightening. The pistol for a gavel, the masked jurors in the box, the noose. Wow. Still compelling sixty odd years later.
It was never shown on British TV but it was released as a theatrical film under the title “Dr. Syn, alias The Scarecrow” which was released in Britain as the supporting film to Sword in the Stone
Just superb acting by everyone involved. It's what makes me watch it again and again. Truly 1st rate.Ransley didn't want to betray Scarecrow but Pugh had him by the his gauntlets ( balls in case you wondered what I meant). But Scarecrow taught him and the rest of his men a valuable lesson. Stay loyal and true.
A MOVIE LIKE THIS WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN THOUGHT TO BE MORE OF A BOYS ADVENTURE. BUT IF IT HAD BEEN AROUND WHEN I WAS A KID, THIS WOULD VERY DEFINITELY BE MY KIND OF SHOW. LOVED IT FULL STEAM!!
Yeah, probably because Hollywood and Disney are very embarrassed by the fact that it is BRILLIANT and a threat to the tripe they are making nowadays to satisfy the politically correct agendas of having super strong Mary Sue characters and ethnic minority actors cast in roles completely out of place for the time, place and genre of the story/film...... If this film was made today I am sure they would cast the Scarecrow as a woman and then shoe horn in an Asian or black actor in a major support role even though both would be ludicrously and completely out of place in rural early 19th century England. I am all for equality, but I mean come on, I want to be entertained, not have politics and the war on discrimination rammed down my throat every minute of a film at the expense of everything else.
You know the sequence as Ransley is seemingly hanged, really does build up the atmosphere and just think about it from Prosecutor Fragg's perspective. The smugglers have him bound and helpless & now here's Curlew, Hellspite & The Scarecrow, someone who his own men are afraid of. The Scarecrow isn't content to simply kill Ransley; no he holds a parody of a trial, with himself as both judge and witness for the prosecution. No defence is offered save what Ransley manages to shout between accusations & the Jury is composed of people the accused was planning to betray. The whole thing takes barely more than 5 minutes to go from being called to order to the sentence being carried out, like the worst of the Drumhead trials. Fragg thought his 'Justice' was frightening and intimidating, now he's seen the Scarecrow's justice and through the testimonies of Curlew & Hellspite, knows that the Scarecrow's men have been watching him for a while and knew his plan before he even launched it. The Scarecrow's gang is big, they've been watching him, they've outwitted every ploy launched against them to date, they know he planned to have a load of them hanged to lure the Scarecrow out and they just hanged one of their own for betraying them. The man has to have been terrified, wondering just what the Scarecrow had in mind for the 'second prisoner' once he was done with Ransley. No wonder the man ran as if hell itself was at his heels.
Hard to believe Patrick McDougall was also on American TV as well. He was usually play the villain in the Columbo movies opposite Peter Fall back in the 1970's.
this is simply great! pat magoohan is breathtakingly good.its a shame network tv did not follow disneys innovation of the mini series like this and davy crockett until the 70s when roots and rich man poor man made them tv staples.macgoohan because of this movie when he saw how it worked as a 3 part tv show said he intended the prisoner to be the same.his vision was 6 hour or hour and a half connected shows with a definate conclusion.his plan went out the window when lou grade agreed to the series but sold it as a danger man sequel with john drake and 26 episodes as he had presold it pat had to make at least 13 episodes to get us networks to take it.also grade discovered he didnt own the rights to drake and the show was a far departure from danger man! pat had to write 7 episodes in a week then 4 more for some kind of conclusion! the brilliant show was somewhat of an albatross to pats career as due to the way it was publicised as a secret agent thriller audiences originally were bemused by what they saw and the wrong idea ie macgoohans vanity project flooped affected his career to some extent and also sickened him to the way movies and tv production subverted a good idea.of course now the show as almost from the time it finished has been acclaimed as a work of genius tvs answer to citizen kane .pat did some good stuff after but never the eye catching leads he deserved.he said in an 80s seminar about the show i wish all producers were like disney buys a good idea then lets you get on with it without interference.
2:55 This terrorist General burns villages / farms without evidence of crimes. Yet General's crimes are brushed-over casually and forgotten, with NO mention of King's Restution to the civil victims of this General's terror. 😡
I mis the Disney channel the way it was in the 1990s with the classic tv shows today's shows on the Disney channel are stupid now kids today need to know there American history most kids are without American heros and they are into drugs and alcohol and stupid tv shows and crappy music Walt Disney would be mad at today's shows
Andrew Nelson I think the idea is to obliterate history, patriotism, religion. If there is no sense of obligation or greater authority , no need to stop doing anything you want. No loyalty to anyone.
Rewatched these several times. Better quality than what on now.
Remember when the Disney Channel was all about all these wonderful classics?
Been watching this since I was a little boy now I'm 68 I've enjoyed watching this again also I liked watching zorro plus the other Disney movies
Im 65 now . The Scarecrow was great when I was a kid and it's still great now . 😂😂😂
The Scarecrow was similar to the Green Hornet. Thought of as a bad guy but really a good guy.
It is a shame that Disney is in the gutter. It was once so wonderful.
WOW ! Scarecrow, The Swampfox, The Nine Lives of Elfago Baca, Texas John Slaughter, Jonny Trumain ! Walt Disney was FABULOUS !
Johnny Shiloh, Zorro
Disney did some great adventure films back then. It was the a golden age. I loved the Sunday nights watching Disney.
Not films. Serials. Swamp Fox. Davy Crockett. Am I missing any?
Spin&Marty, and, The Hardy Boys. 😎👋🏻
@@Kermit_T_Frog Texas John Slaughter, El Fago Baca and Daniel Boone
It's a pity that we can't find these great Disney classics on Disney ➕️
His scream would mess me up as a child, but never missed an episode.
I remember suffering through the Lawrence Welk Show waiting for Disney to come on!
Me too, so many wonderful memories!
In Britain we didn't get this until the 1970s.
You're wicked David. But on point. Good job. " And a one and a two..."
Now, that is a shared memory that I've been trying to suppress all these years!
Oh God,me too.All those bubbles 🤯
This is a Great show. I wish they still made them like this. Thanks for the upload. RIP Walt Disney.
agree... this is the best ofndisney... but so many years ago. i love this
This is still one of my favorite Disney movies!

Nothing like popcorn and Disney movies to make your Sunday.
That scream when he leaped off that rock surface. It actually spooked me. I think my heart skipped a beat.
Walt Disney was a genius. From the Scarecrow Saga of Andy Burnet, The Swamp Fox and of course Davy Crockett. Never missed a sunday with Disneyland
The devil is a genius, too ; and you have fallen for his tricks.
I loved the Disney shows on Sundays. I loved Zorro and the Scare Crow just the magical way they handle them selves on horses.
I love how the Scarecrow both proved a point to his men and allowed Ramsley to live. The man certainly thinks things through, I'll give him that.
I got a Scarecrow comics from the drugstore one Sunday. I was in Heaven reading it.
46, I enjoyed watching the reruns when I was a child

My family used to all watch the Disney movies together. Some great memories. I remember watching the Scarecrow movies like it was last week. Thanks for posting Joe.
The Disney programming holds up much better than other series from the time. There is a peculiar warmth to them that is uniquely Disney.
Tracy Anderson we always watched wonderful world of Disney on Sundays as a family , we looked forward all week. Fun, family, wholesome
Tracy Anderson My brothers-in-law loved The Scarecrow!!! This is the one and only Disney miniseries that they watched through and through!
my family too great memories
Should have been in church Sunday nights; but then, maybe your church is just a puppet of the devil, if you even have a church.

When Patrick McGoohan talks, I listen.
Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom was also on Sunday.Thanks for the video.
Joe Ford I still remember the song or the Mutual of Omaha ,lol. Wild kingdom and Marlin Perkins
You can find those episodes on youtube! I had my son upload. Mutual of Omaha Wildkingdom and the Wonderful World of Disney on our large smart TV. I told him this was the way Sundays nights were like in the late 1960s , early 1970s
And... we watched the shows in black and white!😳😳😳😳

VERY GOOD MOVIE SERIES! Love this! Thanks 😎

That opening musical sequence sounded a lot like "The Prisoner".!
A MOVIE LIKE THIS WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN THOUGHT TO BE MORE OF A BOYS ADVENTURE. BUT IF IT HAD BEEN AROUND WHEN I WAS A KID, THIS WOULD VERY DEFINITELY BE MY KIND OF SHOW.
LOVED IT FULL STEAM!!
Magnificent.
It was that owl mask that freaked me out!!
Go Scarecrow, go !!
Best Halloween Costume Ever !! The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh!
That scream was terrifying to me as a 10 years old. 60 years later it's still terrifying.
Great film
I grew up watching the Disney movies
Thank you! Much better than the stuff we make today. I wish I had been born in the past as they had things together better than we do now.
As a Libertarian I love _Scarecrow!_
43:23 - “The Scarecrow’s Justice.”
This was such a wonderful show. Weird the way they buried it.
Yeah, probably because Hollywood and Disney are very embarrassed by the fact that it is BRILLIANT and a threat to the tripe they are making nowadays to satisfy the politically correct agendas of having super strong Mary Sue characters and ethnic minority actors cast in roles completely out of place for the time, place and genre of the story/film......

@@VikingRhys ...yes...it's a shame.
@@VikingRhys OK Boomer
disney is dead. rip...... this is the best of times......
Love to see “The Treasure of San Bosco Reef”.
Excellent
Saw this one time as a kid always remembered it
Even then John Drake/No. 6 was disrupting the social order and fighting the moral fight.
such a great movie.........
Another Disney masterpiece was Darby O'gill and the Little People. Sean Conner's first major film. He even sand in it

I had my Grandma make me a scarecrow mask complete with the stitching by the mouth. Mom wasn't too happy with the pillowcase I destroyed.
thanks for uploading this!!!!!!!
My brother wore the scarecrow mask for Halloween. 1969.
Hard to believe Patrick McDougall was also on American TV as well. He was usually play the villain in the Columbo movies opposite Peter Fall back in the 1970's.

Interesting
The Squire and the General will later help sink the Bismarck
