The Swamp Fox (1959-1961)

Tagged: American revolution, Resistance to tyranny

This eight-episode Disney series is a tribute to Revolutionary War military hero Francis Marion, renowned for his lightning surprise attacks, who frustrated British efforts to control the South. [ The Swamp Fox credits: Dir: Harry Keller/ Leslie Nielsen, John Sutton, Joy Page/ 102 min/ Action-Adventure/ American revolution, Resistance to tyranny]

External Reviews

“The Swamp Fox is wily. And brave. And very clean–especially for someone who spends a lot of time around mud. That’s because this is Disney’s version of Francis Marion, the real-life Revolutionary War hero who fought the British on his own terms in the marshes of South Carolina.”
–Los Angeles Times

About Miss Liberty

This site is a collection of films and documentaries of particular interest to libertarians (and those interested in libertarianism). It began as a book, Miss Liberty’s Guide to Film: Movies for the Libertarian Millennium, where many of the recommended films were first reviewed. The current collection has grown to now more than double the number in that original list, and it’s growing still.
