The Swamp Fox (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Swamp Fox was a 1950s television series produced by Walt Disney and starring Leslie Nielsen. Nielsen played the role of American Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion and wore a tri-corner hat even though the actual historical Marion sensibly wore a pot on his head as a helmet; Disney wanted a marketable item to follow the Davy Crockett coonskin caps, however. The show lasted six episodes and its theme song ("Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, tail on his hat...nobody knows where the Swamp Fox at...") was also sung by Nielsen as well.

The series recently was released on DVD.
