"Welcome to our Grand Opening on ePier" DAVY CROCKETT COMPLETE SERIES DVD SET Davy Crockett is the first miniseries in the history of television though the term had not yet been coined. Airing on ABC in five one-hour episodes on the Disneyland series, the series stars Fess Parker in the title role and Buddy Ebsen as George Russell. The first three episodes of the miniseries were edited together as the 1955 theatrical film Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. The series and film are known for the catchy theme song, "The Ballad of Davy Crockett". The series was filmed in color at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at the Gatlinburg, Tennessee, entrance. The series began with "Davy Crockett, Indian Fighter" (December 15, 1954): Crockett seeks a truce with Indians who assaulted a military outpost. He and Russell fight in skirmishes under the command of General Andrew Jackson, portrayed by Basil Ruysdael. Along the way, Crockett kills a bear armed only with his knife. The second episode is "Davy Crockett Goes to Congress" (January 26, 1955): Crockett, with his companion Russell, travels to Tennessee, where he learns of the death of his wife, Polly Crockett, played by Helene Stanley. He wins a seat in the Tennessee House of Representatives and later the United States House of Representatives. The third episode is "Davy Crockett at the Alamo" (February 23, 1955): Crockett and Russell join a gambler named Thimblerig, played by Hans Conreid, who joins them on their trek to Texas, where they arrive to battle Mexico"s General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna at the fortress, the Alamo. Although Crockett and all the defenders perished at the Battle of the Alamo, two other segments followed. (Crockett"s death is not actually shown all we see is Crockett, the last survivor in the battle, on the parapet swinging his rifle at the oncoming hordes of Mexican soldiers. The picture fades and the flag of Texas is shown flying in the breeze as the male chorus reprises the last lines of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett".) In "Davy Crockett"s Keelboat Race" (November 16, 1955), Crockett and Russell are fur trapping in Kentucky when they meet Mike Fink, known as the best boatman around and portrayed in the miniseries by Jeff York. Fink challenged Crockett to a keelboat race to New Orleans. In "Davy Crockett and the River Pirates" (December 14, 1955), Crockett and Russell team up with Fink to catch pirates posing as Indians. *All 5 Episodes from the series on 2 DVD"s in Chronological Order in Color as originally presented. *Chapter Menus *Unedited and Uncensored *Sealed in Stock and Ready to Ship *100% Guarantee *FREE USPS MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING...IF YOU PREFER A DIFFERENT SHIPPING METHOD PLEASE LET US KNOW IT WILL BE AT YOUR EXPENSE.
