Special Event featuring ALL NEW INTERVIEW with star Patrick McGoohan
and a RARE SCREENING of Dr. Syn!
Producer/director, Larry Green of Bellingham, recently sat down with
long-time friend and business associate, legendary actor/writer/
director/producer Patrick McGoohan (Secret Agent, The Prisoner,
Braveheart) for an extremely rare interview to be included in the long
awaited Disney DVD release of McGoohan's 1965 film, Dr. Syn alias the
Scarecrow. Patrick McGoohan, known to be the highly creative force
behind the legendary cult TV series, The Prisoner, 1967, is known for
being reclusive, private and "difficult".
Mr. Green will be talking about the interview, which will be shown in
it's entirety along with the original release of Dr. Syn Alias the
Scarecrow,
and will be describing a completely different personality than the
image people have of Mr. McGoohan. "Contrary to popular myth",
declares Mr. Green, "my wife and I know Patrick as a warm, extremely
witty, humorous and classy gentleman."
In the interview, Mr. McGoohan discusses many memories he had about
the filming of Dr. Syn, how he got into acting, his political views,
his true feelings about the Catholic Church (you will be surprised!)
and Disney Studios. He also dropped a few bombs into Mr. Green's lap
including, the long awaited answer as to why he turned down James Bond
TWICE!

I loved the series when it showed on Disney. I have a rather nice but
"squeaky" VHS tape of the movie version. Dr. Syn is up there with
Captain Blood, Zorro or any of the other screen classics. Thanx for
the great post.
