The supporting cast is outstanding as well, and story, supervised personally by Disney himself, is exciting and comes to a satisfying conclusion. It is inevitable that comparisons to Batman will be made, but folks, Dr Syn came long before Batman, and McGoohan in both roles as the robed preacher and his masked outlaw alter-ego brings the story to life. As both vicar and Scarecrow, Dr Syn is a hero to the poor folks, running interference between them and King George the Third's soldiers and press gangs. He plays the mild-mannered, quiet-spoken vicar by day, and by night he is the terrifying gravel-voiced scarecrow of Romney Marsh in 18th century South England. Dr Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh (1963) Directed by: James Neilson Starring: Patrick McGoohan, George Cole, Michael Hordern, Tony Britton, Sean Scully. Patrick McGoohan, as both title characters is perfect for this role. Every aspect of the feature itself is top notch, from the writing, directing, photography and acting. First, the DVD production from the steel case to the picture and sound restoration, is excellent. Syn is a colon and rectal surgeon in Laguna Hills, California and is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center and Emanate. I finally got around to watching the original 3 part feature and I can say that I am a fan of this wonderful production. I am very glad I picked up my copy, even if it was a blind buy. The Disney Treasures items are limited, after all. Now the set is selling for upwards of $200 online due to its scarcity. I bought the 2 DVD set at Costco for $20 and not long after read reports of the set being sold-out, to the anger and frustration of collectors and fans. In reviews of the miniseries (later edited and released as a feature film) there is nothing but praise for every aspect of the production and the actors. Doctor Syn returns to England, becomes the vicar of Dymchurch and establishes himself as the Scarecrow, leader of the local smuggler gang, while also dealing. But by night he dons a terrifying mask and adopts a nightmarish growl. Syn stars Patrick McGoohan as the title character, the vicar of Dymchurch parish in 18th century England. Syn is beloved in the memories of people who as children saw the program in its three parts on television in the early 1960s. Confusingly, the three segments were edited down to feature film length and released in England under the way-cooler title Dr. At night he fights injustice as a vigilante known as the Scarecrow.

As a pirate he was rather infamously known as Captain Clegg. I had never heard of this title before, but after some brief research I discovered that Dr. Christopher Syn is a former pirate now a preaching Vicar seeking redemption. Syn The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh on DVD as part of their Treasures series.
