The original pirate of the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />Caribbean, the great Errol Flynn in Against All Flags!

Flynn with Faye Emerson outside the Flynn-Decker Art Gallery. Michael Curtiz has his back to the camera. I don't know who the other two guys are. The painting (photograph?) between Flynn and Emerson is allegedly John Decker's portrait of Mrs. Decker but I have no way of verifying that info. The unguarded look on Flynn's face tells a story of its own. His expression shows pure affection.

Flynn with Nora at the premier of Silver River, downtown Hollywood. I don't remember which theater. This is the type of still that makes collecting so much fun. Candid photographs like this are a window in time. Look at the faces in the crowd – charming. It all makes me wish I had been there. And is that little girl Deirdre?

Here is a pix of two clippings from the scrapbooks of the late Paul M. James. One of them shows Flynn wearing glasses. Pix of him wearing glasses are in short supply. Enjoy!

Here is a color candid from Don Juan. Dave, maybe you can put your digital restoration skills to work on it! It has some spots and scratches here and there.

And finally, here is one last look at Errol Flynn and Waltraut Hass and Cold Nose, 1953.

Attached is a transcript of a German article by Waltraut Hass about working with Flynn on William Tell. The second page has a copy of the original German article pasted onto it.
All of this is courtesy of Josef Fergerl who sent this as a gift after my book was published.
In his diary Flynn makes reference to “Cold Nose” and for some reason I once thought Cold Nose was a nickname for a person. Obviously Cold Nose is a dog.
Enjoy.
