Davy Crockett

Davy Crockett is a five-part television series that aired on ABC in one-hour segments as part of the Disneyland series. The series stars Fess Parker as real-life frontiersman Davy Crockett and Buddy Ebsen as his comrade George Russel. The first three episodes of the serial were edited together and released as the 1955 theatrical picture Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier, and were rerun in color in the 1960s when the Disney show moved to NBC. The catchy theme song, "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," is synonymous with this series and picture. It was shot in color at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park's Mountain Farm Museum near the visitor center in Oconaluftee near the Qualla Reservation's entrance and Janss Conejo Ranch in California. Davy Crockett and the River Pirates was a 1956 theatrical picture based on the final two episodes. The film was shot in Cave-In-Rock, Illinois.
