In the Mid-Fifties "The Wonderful World of Disney" Aired a Three-Part Mini-Series about Davy Crockett.
The Show was Broadcast on Sunday Nights, it was in Color (by '55 almost all had TV but few had color TVs).
Always the Visionary and Always the Empire Builder Concerned with the "Bottom-Line".
But He Never Skimped on Quality and Spent Enormous Amounts of Money Purchasing Talent to Insure Impeccable Productions.
At "Disney" Product was Sacred Territory.
Davy Crockett was one the Most Watched and Critically Acclaimed. Quality Television in the Early-Days of the "Idiot-Box".
This Movie is an Opposite.
Low-Production Values Throughout.
"Davy Crockett" the Titular Character...Wait for it...
Is not even the Backwoods Congressman, Friend of Common Folks and Indians, and Hero of the Alamo...
He is a Distant Cousin or Something.
Nuff-Said.
No Wait there's More...
Because the Aforementioned Disney Phenom, the People Behind this Abomination Re-Released this Turkey to Unsuspecting Kids...Have They No Shame?
