Wow, I'm in my 60's but I still remember watching this in my living room back in the day when it came on. Even though it scared the crap outta me I just couldn't get enough. Even remember the opening and the theme song.
Me too...it was both scary and mesmerizing to my 7 year old "self". Opening credits and theme song are burned in my psyche forever.
@@birdsfan57 I also remember watching it was also 7 years old, scared the shit out of me going out in the dark.
Only came across this movie in last few weeks! Not typical Disney! Scarecrow mask scary even by today's standards. And the voice is brilliant! A hidden gem of a movie!
ditto , me too, i think it used to come on Sunday evenings part of Walt Disney programming, as 6 or 7 or 8 year old it mesmerized me :)
@@noelegan1208 Patrick McGoohan..brilliant in this role.
My mother was an accomplished artist, clothing designer and seamstress. After this film, titled" The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh", aired on The Wonderful World of Disney my mother made a faithful replica of the Scarecrow's costume. I remember, being the age of nine or so, Mom sewing together rafts of straw to place strategically throughout the garment/hat and it was a hit for Halloween of 1964. I wore the refreshed costume the next Halloween, with more straw(!), working a different part of the neighborhood and adjacent homes.
After that my younger brothers wore the costume, repaired each year (made to look as tattered as it did compared to the original Polaroid photograph of it) through at least 1969 and it was lost to time after that because neither I nor my brothers, who remember it too, don't know what became of it. The costume had a chest-piece which joined with the shoulder pads to support the wooden dowel behind the neck to give the tunic a real scarecrow's drape. The painted burlap mask had a satin inner-facing to prevent it from making the face itchy. Very cool.
Cool story man
@@haydenysidro9388 Thank you. My mother was really into suiting-up her young ones for Halloween. When I was four years-old she made a Robin (Batman and Robin) costume that I wore extensively. Today, whenever I see certain combinations of yellow, red and green I get a strong sense of that costume from almost fifty-nine years ago.
Cool story. My grandmother could sew and make clothing, and she made the Sorcerer and his apprentice (from Disney's "Fantasia") costumes for my older brother (Sorcerer) and myself (Apprentice). Later, the costumes were re-used and worn by me (Sorcerer) and my younger sister (Apprentice).
@@TralfazConstruction your welcome you she could have gone into business if she had sewing skills like you say by the have noticed that the scarecrow is basically 1910s batman which also ironic because batman has a villain named scarecrow
@@randallulrich so you were Mickey cool
Wow! I hadn't seen this in years!!! Loved watching this as a kid in the late 70s. Didn't realize it was filmed in '63. Hard to believe there once was a show we called "The Wonderful World of Disney" and they put together an enjoyable hour of family TV like this every week.
I only realized tonight that this was set in England near Dover. When I was a kid, I was convinced this was in New England somewhere. Too funny!!!
Great JOE, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE , ME too & so many others, means at that time it must have been a good movie , NOW I can watch again after 59 long years
The quality here is very poor, though. The dvd looks 1000 times better. I think I'll go and watch it right now for about the 27th time.
I have always had a fond memory of this movie. The Scarecrows' screech is what I remember most about it.
I remember watching this on Sunday evening Disney when I was about five or six, and being enthralled with the costumes, the accents, and the shadows. The mystery of it always intrigued me even though I was too young to understand the story.
Good old Patrick Mcgoohan, TV & movie legend. Fine supporting cast, too - Micheal Hordern, George Cole, Patrick Wymark, Tony Britton and more...Many thanks for sharing.
One of my favorites is Robert Brown, who played Sam. I first saw him in the series 'Ivanhoe', starring Roger Moore!
and, the amazing Alan Dobie
I thought that was Tony Britton, whom I remember from Robin's Nest, only to find that Robin (Richard O'Sullivan), is among the cast too, playing the eldest son of the turncoat smuggler.
I loved this movie/series, and finally have it on Blu-ray.
A magnificent film and cast. I saw it as a child and I've never forgotten it. Thank you!
Wow I was 7 years old setting in front of a old black & white TV filled with excitement when this first aired and I never new it was made in color. Seen it a couple more times back in the 60's but not since. It is very surprising how much realism there was in movies made in those days that Hollywood just can't seem to capture anymore. A very much Thank you for the upload
Thanks for your time today and tomorrow so I will have my memories.
I was the same age and share your memories and sentiments.
Excellent movie 🍿
I love this move so much. When I was 10 yrs I made a mask of scarecrow.Rideing my bike through the neighborhood on Halloween night.I thought I was so cool.Thanks Mr Disney for the memories.
How very very groovy! Enjoyed your reminiscence 😊 thank you
Man does this film bring back memories. I was 9 years old when I watched this. Thanks.
What a cracking film with outstanding cast, childhood memories, love it!!

This theme song has been burned into my brain for almost 60 years. My favorite Disney TV movie from my childhood!
Probably my favorite childhood movie. Thank you so much for posting it.
I'm in my late 50's and still remember this movie and the theme song. It scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.
I'm 60 now and I remember watching at school in the hall, it was brilliant then and it still is today!
10 thumbs up. A Childhood favorite. And a senior fave still. Thank you, TBRG.
My favorite Disney Program!!!! So glad to finally get to see it again!
Absolutely one of my favorites!!! I remember watching this the night it aired. Even got it on DVD eventually. But thrilled-to-death to see it on YT!!!
That is the best wonderful movie I ever seen in my 52 years of my life
I Really enjoyed this movie as a kid in 1963 The only One Time I'VE seen it, at the cinema
It impresses me back then that kept remember the movie .. NOW I found it on YOU TUBE ,Thanks for sharing it to watch it again
I grew up with this movie & have always loved it. My mom had it on a VHS tape & I watched it all the time. I finally got it on Blu Ray. George Cole was hilarious in this movie. Pretty sure my mom invented 'screen shots' taking photos of the TV screen when this was on Wonderful World of Disney. Patrick McGoohan was an outstanding actor. He was also in Disney's 'three lives of Thomasina'.
With all the remakes being overdone in Hollywood why hasn't anyone stepped up to remake this awesome classic? I love the original and always will, but this story could be remade with a fresh new group of british actors and would appeal to all generations of audiences. It was one of the best Disney movies ever made.
Typical Disney; they'll remake all they're popular movies, buy other properties, but when they have an actual superhero in their vault, they forget it.
Amen!!
The original book is in the public domain, somebody could make it whenever they wanted.
It’s too clean…
No, thanks, they will it full of black and gay characters
Very typical of Disney live action adventure productions of this era, reminiscent of Zorro, Mooncussers and Swamp Fox. McGoohan is very well cast here.
It's been quite a number of years since I've seen this movie. Just as good now as it was then. Mysterious, suspenseful, and the Scarecrow's haunting laugh... ghoulish and frightening. "Can nobody stop the villain?" "They'll still try sir, don't worry; they'll still try." Great movie, they just don't make 'em like this anymore. Sad, really.
Thank you so very much for having this Great Picture here, I first seen this when I was a child, I never forgot its mystery and intrigue.
Romney Dymchurch all in my back yard Rye and Littlestone on sea I miss it so!! This film is all the episodes edited together! Sold my DVD copy now the DVD is worth loads of money! grrrr
I have the Metal Case limited edition release of this Movie. With several versions the TV version the Movie version pictures a lot of cool stuff in this release
I saw it listed on ebay for near $500.00 wow I might just want to sell it now.
@@MJM1309 Yep that was the one $50 new in 2006ish then Disney put it in "Their vault" what a larf their vault so when they release it again its worth double.
I picked-up a copy online fairly recently, quite cheaply. Sadly, I can't remember where I got it, now, but if you search around, there are cheap copies out there. Good luck!
The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh is a brilliant British epic come to life on the screen with great actors at the height of their careers and unforgettable music as well. It literally never gets old.
Say what you will about Walt Disney the man...but the artist and business man could tell a good story, run the world's best theme park and set hundreds of legendary entertainment events in motion.
As I look back at life in America since the 1950's, the influence that Disney had on each and every young mind, my own included, is incalculable.
If you've any doubt about Walt's intentions towards strengthening young minds, watch 'Donald Duck ln Mathmagic Land' and grow wise.
There's a George Arliss version here "Doctor Syn", 1937. Fun and different from this version.
If Walt Disney could see the current state of Disney he wouldn’t believe it. So sad.
... Wow!...
The last time I watched this great movie was when I was 9 years old (56yrs ago!... much like most of you guys commenting :0). I just couldn't believe my eyes when it popped up as a suggested movie. I watched it at Marylebone Children's Library London UK where they had a mobile projector and screen set up (it must have been a 35mm print). Also remembered watching another excellent movie there 'The 39 Steps' with Kenneth More...Great times. I feel like we're all in a Disney '65 year old club'!.. My, that makes me feel reeaalllly ancient. Peace & ♥
I remember waiting to watch an episode of Scarecrow on Sunday night. My mother wanted to watch The Beatles on Ed Sullivan instead. Oh the pain.
The sound is bad. The Beatles sound on Ed Sullivan was bad too.
My dad dressed up as the scarecrow for Halloween as a kid. He was terrified and enamored at the same time. I love it!
A tremendous adventure. I love the story, costumes and actors. I even bought comic #1 back then as a kid in the drugstore one Sumday. Wonderful World of Disney was me and my brother's favorite show. Patrick McGoohan is so icy cool as the scarecrow and vicar. Wow! I am grateful to Walt Disney for giving us great films.
my all-time favorite Walt Disney Show. I believe it was shown in three parts on Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday night. When your 5 its pretty scary.
That's how I remember it. I would've been somewhere between 4 & 8 years old (I don't recall). It was multiple parts. However, I didn't see it on its original broadcast date when it competed with the Beatles on Ed Sullivan (Feb 9, 1964). I saw it on a rebroadcast several years later on the CBC.
Agreed, his laugh scared me as a 6 year old!
Thank you for the upload. This was wonderful. All things a movie should be. Thank you Walt Disney. RIP Walt.
I was 7 when I first saw this on our B/W tv in 1963 -- I loved it so I remembered, that was 60 years ago. I'm still glad I actually bought a copy some years ago --- I put it in the dvd player today i'm just looking to see if it's still in print ----- no luck!
What a great line 'You're dead, run for your life'
This is my all time favorite Disney Movie! I never forgot it and always remembered the song and I looked forward to watching it each year it came on. I finally found it of dvd. But it's cool to find it on RUclips also.
I have been searching for this title for forever... Not disappointed.
I remember watching this as a kid in Australia, maybe 6 or 7yrs old, the bird masks scared the crap out of me that’s for sure , enough to sleep with the night light on lol 😆
Sean Scully is in it.
Thank you uploader those were the days when Disney stood for entertainment.. What a great cast of British stalwarts. Disney had the best working for him Like Patrick Mcgoohan in this classic.. Any chance anyone could upload Disney's " Rob Roy" starring a genuine WW2 Hero Richard Todd.
e
As a five year old when this originally aired, I remembered only snippets. This was really a good film. I didn't realize it was first a novel and that Romney Marsh is a real place near Dover on the English Coast. Thanks for posting.
Interesting to read these comments, which are clearly mostly by Americans who think of Dr Syn as a Walt Disney creation. We in Britain have always loved the original half-dozen novels, written by Russell Thorndyke [brother of Sybil Thorndyke]. The original Dr Syn is written as partly this 'Robin Hood' kind of figure, but also as having been, previously, a desperate and cruel pirate; his excuse for that being that he fell into those evil ways when pursuing his runaway Spanish wife and her lover. Quite a bit more realistic than this film - though the film is very enjoyable.
got the movie and series on dvd.....loved it and love it today
Absolutely super! Loved every minute. Many thanks for posting
That's for sharing. Really appreciate.
Thank the gods for YT. I watched Disney's the Horsemasters (still the best riding movie ever) and this. My sister asked me about it the other day. We saw it way back when also. I was 10 😮
I remember watching this as a kid.loved it!
April 29, 2019----At 65, I've watched a lot of Disney movies and this one is not only one I've never seen, but never even heard of. Of course being 10 years old at the time, tv was ONLY in B&W and don't remember it being even advertised at Homestead AFB, Florida movie theater. Thank yoou.
Thank you very much for posting this film. It brings back fond memories of childhood.
This movie had been aired in segments on American television in the 1960s, and I remember dressing in a scarecrow costume for Halloween when I was 10 or 11. I was surprised to see, during my Air Force basic training in 1975, that it was playing in movie form at one of the movie theaters at Lackland AFB, TX.
Watched this as a kid in 1964. Remember watching the final part on Disney, when my babysitter wanted to turn the channel to watch a show about a bug (I thought) called the "Beatles" on a show called the "Ed Sullivan Show". I remember protesting loudly when she changed the channel. It turned out the Beatle "bug" was a group who was singing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". I remember after the song I was allowed to watch the rest of the movie.
I love this movie... thank you!
Excellent film. Thanks for sharing.
At long last! Thanks so much for posting this.
A Great movie, I remember it watching it when Disney had a TV show, Thanks for sharing it.
Absolutley full of historic inaccuracies - but hey, it's a good, old school Disney swashbuckling romp and great fun. Well done the cast and thanks for uploading.
Thank you so much for sharing have always loved this one. Scared me as a kid, but I still loved it.
“Scarecrow! Scarecrow! The soldiers of the King feared his name.”
The theme song, especially these lines, has been burned in my brain for almost 60 years. Unforgettable movie...by far, my favorite Disney TV movie from what seems like a lifetime ago!
Thank you so much. I had flashbacks of my childhood all the way through.
What a great movie.Ive never seen it before,but loved it.I love all the older movies.
Many thanks for posting, I haven’t seen this movie in many years.
The Scarecrow what a classic as a kid on Sundays.I loved all the episodes and the musical score was great.
Thank you, I hadn’t seen it since it first aired when I was a child.
Love this Movie! Thanks for the upload!!!!
One of my DISNEY FAVORITES! They don't make movies like this anymore! What a TIMELESS TREASURE! Better than ROBIN HOOD!
Thanks for post this!
I was 10 when I last saw this. What a great movie.
Thanks for the upload! Don’t worry about the people moaning about the video quality. I grew up watching this on bootleg VHS that was in much worse quality!
Omg I've been looking for this film for years and couldn't find it anywhere thank u so much
Thanks for the upload!!! Memories!!! Of being frightened!
When movies were movies, and actors were actors....good times
I remember this program on Walt Disney presents.
Love this movie. Thank you!
One of my Favorite Disney flick.
This was on opposite The Beatles on Ed Sullivan on that historical day, February 9, 1964.
wow! I loved this. thank u posting!
So many comments regarding this film fair enough. But would never have been made without Russel Thorndyke!. Doesn't anyone read anymore. Fantastic books for young adults to read.
It's a shame this isn't on Disney +.
It's too clean for that
Right on, thanks... was just thinking about The Prisoner the other day.
that was brilliant, thanks! once again Kent is steeped in history, it all happened down there lol.
Yes it is, though not much history in this movie.LOL One of the locomotives on the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway is named Dr. Syn. www.rhdr.org.uk/locomotives/doctor-syn/ Wonderful place and wonderful railway --- of course a large part of the Romney Marshes are in East Sussex as well as Kent - equally rich in History.
I saw this once on wonderful world of Disney in the early 60s. I still sing the song.
Love this film. I have a very old vhs copy that I try to keep safe as it’s not really available to buy anymore. So glad to see this as I don’t like playing the tape in case I break it!
I loved it at age 10,1963 but it was scary also.
Walt would puke knowing what 's become of 'DisneyGayLand'
True. I still have fond memories of visiting Disney in Florida and California. But I won't buy anything Disney again.
Patrick McGoohan would not have puked on you, even though he would have disapproved of your hatred.
'... now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace according to Thy Word, for mine eyes have seen Thy Salvation. ' Very good!
Esta pelicula me llevo aun viaje hasta la decada de los años 70s una infancia muy feliz, gracias y saludos desde mexico
Great quality Thanks much
The Scarlet Pimpernel? I still love this film. Thank you/
49:55 - "CHEAT! LIAR!! TRAITOR!!! Convicted by your own words!" - The Scarecrow
When I was a kid this one my favorite Disney classic.
This was a great story. What many don't know, though, is several of the actors in this later would play pivotal roles in the James Bond series of films.
And the actor who plays Dr Syn also went on to play in the movie Silver Spoons and had a small but crucial role in The Punishers.
@@trhansen3244 Actually, Patrick McGoohan had a fantastic career. He was the lead it two major groundbreaking British series and also did four very well written and acted *_Columbo_* mysteries, to name a few things he did.
Great movie.Make some more like those.
This is a great one love it, thanks for sharing
It's been so many decades that I'd forgotten this Walt Disney story save for a vague memory of a man dressed as a Scarecrow (and not part of the Batman franchise.) Lovely to have found it here. How I miss the days of Mr. Disney before he died and the current Corporation crap took over. Harsh taskmaster, but a brilliant capitalist. Seeing what's become of his company, I can't blame him anymore for having kept a firm grip on it while still alive. Wish he could have lived and in good health for decades more.
I still remember how sad I was the day Disney died. They showed a clip of Steamboat Willie on CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. Such wonderful entertainment he provided.
51:28 - "The Scarecrow's Justice!"
wow long time no see since 60 s well worth a watch still has that x factor great to see again booooom!!!
I love this score the music was so great along with the movie.
I was 10 when I saw this on Walt Disney thanks
I wonder if you can help. Do you have or can get hold of a 60’s movie called “Sammy goes South” or “Boy Ten feet Tall”
I watched this in the early sixties and would love to see it again. Hope you can find it and upload it to your site.
Great Movie
Thank u, thank u I love this film so much
When I saw this 50 years ago, I knew he was a hero, but he was a SCARY hero! I was but a wee lad. I didn't see the original release of Feb 1964 - I saw a rebroadcast several years after on CBC (did NBC also broadcast the Wonderful World of Disney?).
This was a piece of art should be more
