The Swamp Fox is a television miniseries produced by Walt Disney Studios and starring Leslie Nielsen as American Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion.
[1][2] The show was based on the 1959 book Swamp Fox: The Life and Campaigns of General Francis Marion by Robert D.
One of the Swamp Fox's adversaries was Colonel Banastre Tarleton, played by John Sutton.
The Swamp Fox did not bring to Disney the commercial success that had been achieved by Davy Crockett.
The Disney Channel reran Swamp Fox episodes in the 1980s and 1990s,[7] while Nielsen was at the height of a second career as a white-haired comedy movie star.
