AllMovie

Revolutionary War adventure focusing on real-life South Carolina patriot Francis Marion, a role Mel Gibson re-created some four decades later in 'The Patriot.' Two series (eight episodes in all) aired on 'Walt Disney Presents,' one in 1959, the other in 1960-61, but it didn't come close to matching the success of Disney's Davy Crockett series. Written by TV action veteran Lewis R. Foster ('The Adventures of Jim Bowie,' 'Zorro'). Star Leslie Nielsen also sang the theme song.
