I've just taken delivery of Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe on DVD. After watching one of the interviews with Buster Crabbe, I was surprised to learn that his 50's TV series Captain Gallant of the Foreign Legion was filmed on location in Morocco and North Africa. I always felt that budgets for 30 min TV series in those days were fairly small and wouldn't have extended too far away from the studio.

The series was on TV in the mid 50's and it also starred Fuzzy Knight as well as Buster Crabbe's son Cullen 'Cuffy' Crabbe. From what I remember it was nothing to write home about. Other than being filmed on location that was it.
