Movie Reviews of William Tell
Movie Review: And then, my math skills fail me
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember the "Marching behind William Tell" musical beeswax and then my math skills fail me... Perhaps the music had been changed for syndication and the music included here is the original, or perhaps not..."The Adventures of William Tell" includes thirty-nine episodes: l The Emperor's hat, 2 The Hostages, 3 The Secret Death, 4 The Gauntlet of St. Gerhardt, 5 The Prisoner, 6 Voice In the Night, 7 The Rats Who Died, 8 The Baroness, 9 The Elixer, 10 The Suspect, 11 The Cuckoo,12 The Bear, 13 The Magic Powder, 14 The Golden Wheel, 15 The Bride, 16 The Boy Slaves, 17 The Young Widow, 18 Landslide, 19 The Trap, 20 The Shrew, 21 The Manhunt, 22 The Killer, 23 The Surgeon, 25 The Ensign, 26 The Avenger, 27 The Bandit, 28 Gessler's Daughter, 29 The General's Daughter, 30 The Raid, 31 Castle of Fear, 32 The Black Brothers, 33 The Lost Letter, 34 The Secret Weapon, 35 The Master Spy, 36 The Traitor, 37 The Spider, 38 The Mountain People, 39 Undercover. This DVD collection of three DVDs includes ten episodes each in no particular order. And, that's the way it goes... However, reproduction is more than adequate. This is just a boy action television program. Oh well, so much the better. Perhaps, someday all thirty-nine episodes will be sold together with the marching song. Until then, buy this edition.
Summary of William Tell
The tale of William Tell harkens back to medieval Switzerland, in the Alpine village of Altdorf. Legend has it that the Austrian warlord Governor Landburgher Gessler ruled Switzerland with an iron hand, demanding the citizenry to pay their respects daily. A revolutionary at heart, William Tell ignored the dictum, and was seized by soldiers. Gessler, who had heard of Tell's skill as an archer, told Tell that he could avoid execution by shooting an apple off his son's head, from twenty paces. Tell succeeded in the feat, and later slew Gessler, signaling the start of the movement that secured Switzerland's independence from Austria. Fact or folklore, the myth remains in Altdorf, where William Tell is regarded as a national hero. This DVD disc set from TMG brings you thirty episodes based on the legendary William Tell, over 750 minutes in all three discs. Produced on location in Snowdonia, England and at the studios of ITC, one of Britain's leading independent production companies, the series features many of England's finest actors. Joining Conrad Phillips in the role of William Tell and Willoughby Goddard as Gessler, are many fine cameos, including performances by Michael Caine, Wilfred Brambell, Donald Pleasence and Robert Shaw.Television DVD Video
