Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

After Davy Crockett scored a huge hit on TV and in theaters, Walt Disney looked for stories about other American heroes for Disneyland; among the ones he chose were Elfego Baca and Marion Francis, the Swamp Fox. Of the two, Elfego Baca, which ran for 10 installments from October 1958 through March 1960, is the more entertaining. Robert Loggia cuts a properly dashing figure as Baca, the New Mexico gunman who became a lawyer. In both capacities, he fought for justice and the spirit of the law, rather than its letter: If he found a law unjust--or inconvenient--he bent or ignored it to achieve his always honorable ends. Baca also stood out as a rare example of a Latino hero at time when Hispanics were rarely seen on American TV. Elfego Baca proved popular enough to be recut and released theatrically outside the United States.

During the Revolutionary War, Colonel Francis Marion led a string of unconventional campaigns against the British in the Carolinas. His skill at staging raids, then vanishing into the trackless marshes earned him the title "The Swamp Fox." As Marion, Leslie Nielsen lacks Loggia's panache. He's also required to make rather heavy-handed speeches about the rightness of the American cause and its inevitable victory that bring the story to screeching halt. And he always seems to pick the most obtuse members of the British army as targets. Although The Swamp Fox ran for six installments, from October 1959 through January 1961, it was eclipsed by more exciting Disney Americana, notably Texas John Slaughter (1958-1961). (Unrated, suitable for ages 8 and older: violence, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon



Product Description

Inspired by true life heroes, these are two of Walt's most exciting television shows, ELFEGO BACA and THE SWAMP FOX. Elfego Baca is a gunfighter (Robert Loggia) in the old west who changes his ways to become sheriff and then a lawyer. Elfego deals with rampaging cowboys, outlaws and more in this exciting series about law and order on the frontier. The Swamp Fox stars Leslie Nielsen (who starred in the classic film "Forbidden Planet," and would later become famous for the "Airplane" and "Naked Gun" movies) as Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion. This patriot fought the British using unusual methods, and became known as "The Swamp Fox." In this superb series, Marion matches wits with the Tories in a story of adventure and action. Bonus materials will include an interview with Robert Loggia, star of "Elfego Baca;" "Tales of Courage and Adventure" a featurette that examines the origins of these historical figures and the fascinating story of their lives, still frame galleries from these TV shows, and more. Introductions by Leonard Maltin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why only 3 each?, September 19, 2005
By STJOHN316 "stjohn316" (OH United States) - See all my reviews
Swamp Fox was great. But why release only 3 of the 8 episodes? Why not a seperate set for each show with all of the episodes? Please, disney, gives us the whole series! My fuzzy VHS tapes off of TV are getting old!

1.0 out of 5 stars Aaarrgh!, January 7, 2006
By RKS (CA) - See all my reviews
I was hoping for a COMPLETE set of Swamp Fox, Disney! Now, I know that someone else wrote that the complete series might not be available. However, up until four years ago the Disney channel aired the series at 4:oo in the morning. Right after I had my little girl, I discovered this. Anyway, for about 4 months I was able to see all episodes. Then, Disney channel stopped airing all the "Classic Disney" shows during the wee morning hours. Now, all that one sees is the repeat of new shows -- yuk!
I think Walt would roll over in his grave if he knew all the terrible shows that Disney produces now (Lizzie, Raven, etc..). Especially since he loved history, old folk-lore, and learning.
I think like Boomerang, Disney should have a "Classic Disney Channel" that only runs tv shows/movies produced before 1985.

3.0 out of 5 stars Swamp Fox, November 18, 2005
For those who think this is a complete collection of the Swamp Fox series,there were 8 episodes, not 3. For those who remember watching on "Walt Disney Presents" this will not be
a good choice; there is too much missing material. Had hoped for
a complete,unedited release of this Disney classic. This can only be a partial amount of the original.
