Elderly clergyman Dr. Syn (George Arliss) is one of the most respected members of a tiny coastal community, but few of the locals have any idea that Syn was once known to the world as Captain Clegg, a merciless swashbuckler who viciously defended his wife, Imogen (Margaret Lockwood). Unbeknown to his friends and neighbors, Syn is still masterminding a looting operation -- but this time he's using the stolen goods to improve his town. Unfortunately, the authorities may be on to the old man.
Initial release: 1937
Director: Roy William Neill
Music composed by: Jack Beaver
Production company: Gainsborough Pictures
Producers: Michael Balcon, Edward Black
This movie was remade twice. Disney's Scarecrow Of Romney Marsh and again as Night Creatures from Hammer House. The first, Doctor Syn (1937), featured noted actor George Arliss in the title role and was its star's last film.

A perfect late night movie. It plays like a creepy campfire tale. I don't need any gimmicky remakes. This one works for me.

Theres a three part series filmed in colour by Walt Disney in 1963 that might be worthy of your approval. Easy to find on KZfaq.

Scarecrow of Romney Marsh. Starring Patrick McGoohan. Wish that Walt Disney Studios would re-release it on to DVD. 1964 is a long time too wait for it. As would it be good if the version by George Arliss was also released onto DVD.

Decent 1937 film of the Dr Syn story. A bit stagey and theatrical but its good to watch and George Arliss is well cast. The 1962 Hammer film starring Peter Cushing is much better.
