Summary: Disney's all-time greatest live action movie, period.
Comment: This was well worth the wait. The picture is clear, crisp, and vivid. This 2-DVD set delivers the 3-part "Scarecrow of Romney Marsh" (I sat glued to the TV and thrilled to every minute of it as a kid) and the feature-length movie version that later surfaced on cable and elsewhere.
As Leonard Maltin mentions in his commentary, the "movie" version was so skillfully edited that you won't notice what's missing until you watch the 3-parter and take careful notes.
The justly-acclaimed actor Patrick McGoohan shines here. How many actors have pulled off THREE indelibly-stamped characters (The Scarecrow plus The Prisoner - Complete Series Megaset (40th Anniversary Edition) and Secret Agent (aka Danger Man) - The Complete Collection Megaset 2007)? He plays the Vicar / Scarecrow as an emotionally balanced character with a clearly defined sense of right and wrong. The "Joseph Ransley" betrayal arc is handled beautifully. As The Scarecrow, McGoohan can be cackling like a demon possessed, but within a split second of removing his mask he is once again cool, calm, and collected.
This film was a true rarity in the Disney universe. As a kid, I loved it. I thought McGoohan and his cohorts were terrifying. I eagerly awaited each weekly segment. As an adult, I can appreciate the beautiful cinematography, the tight script, the flawless acting.
For you trivia buffs, British horror experts Hammer Studios crafted their own version of the Dr. Syn saga, "Night Creatures," which can be found on Hammer Horror Series (Brides of Dracula / Curse of the Werewolf / Phantom of the Opera (1962) / Paranoiac / Kiss of the Vampire / Nightmare / Night Creatures / Evil of Frankenstein).
This is without a doubt the easiest and most sincere 5-star rating I've ever given to a film. Buy it...for yourself, your kids, and their kids.

Summary: Worth the Price, Worth the Wait
Comment: I remember the thrill and chills from watching it as a 6 year old! I have waited all these years to watch this and hear the theme song. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! Disney did it right. The picture, the sound, and the show was everything I remembered and then some. I am a 50 year old man who for a few hours was that young boy who was mesmerized by the "The Scarecrow."

Summary: A genuine pleasure ...
Comment: For many, many years ... since the advent of the DVD generation of committing classic films and television series to disks for preservation as more than just a cherished memory ... I've been eagerly awaiting such a treatment for "Doctor Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh". In 1964, when I first saw it on Disney's The Wonderful World of Color anthology program, I was 12 years old and it struck me as both wonderful entertaining and really fine storytelling. The performances, led by Patrick McGoohan's stellar turn as Vicar Christopher Syn, are all excellent. Incredibly, in watching it again over the weekend, I find that the film has not been "dated" at all. I never got the feeling while playing it of wondering what on Earth I'd seen in it back then as I do sometimes when looking back at movies and series that were a staple of my childhood.
Anyway, bravo to Disney for digging into its treasure trove vaults, unearthing this masterpiece, and giving it the grand restoration it deserves for a whole new generation to discover and enjoy!

Summary: Thanks For The Memories
Comment: I had just turned six when this started airing on Disney back in 1964. I remember being riveted to my seat and then waiting for the following weeks episode. The third week came and I sat glued to the television. Then half way through, my 17 year old brother came home and turned it to Ed Sullivan to watch the Beatles. For 44 years I never saw the last half hour of the Scarecrow until this week. After all these years, I sat riveted to my chair like I was still 6. The one memory that stuck all those years was how atmospheric and intense the movie was and after all these years it still is. Awesome Disney! Thank you. PS: I now forgive my brother.

Summary: Even Better Than I Remembered!!!
Comment: I was absolutely delighted my copy of Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh showed up in only four days. I am so impressed with the obvious pains Disney took in restoring it to pristine beauty and sound-it was worth the long wait to be released on DVD and is indeed a treasure. It really brought back wonderful memories of the first time it was shown on TV when I was a child. I enjoyed it ever bit as much watching it this time if not more.
