One of Errol's favorite meals!
14
May
Errol used to adore a very special meal! He would drop anything and everything when invited to this special meal!
This is a three part question.
1. What did this meal consisted of?
2, Who cooked it?
3. Where did he go to eat it?
Have fun!

More clippings —

Hopefully with a more positive outlook than the last batch. I found the Erben one particulary fascinating, trouble just seemed to follow Doc Erben around.
I spent a few hours the other night going through all these newspaper clippings (something I have been meaning to do for a while now) I had intentionally set aside an hour to do this… which very quickly turned into four hours; truly fascinating stuff I have to say…
best wishes,
Brian.

Flynn Clippings (UK)

May
Hello fellow bloggers,
I'd like to begin this post by sending all my best wishes and prayers to Jack Marino's wife Louise and of course to Jack and his family.
Prayers and best wishes also to our beloved administrator and overseer of this wonderful blog David. I haven't had time to get to the internet much in the past few weeks but both David and Jack, who have given so much to the name of Errol Flynn, have never been far from my thoughts; God bless you both.
I found a little time last night to scan a few newspaper articles about Errol… I have scanned quite a lot of these so may post a few more if they are of interest.
best wishes,
Brian.

Errol Flynn as inspiration for Thor film character
09
May
This weekend I saw the new movie “Thor”, based on the Marvel Comics superhero and his adventures. I really enjoyed the film, and was surprised to find one of the characters in it (he's a character from the Thor comic books) resembles, in part, Errol. His name is Fandral and he's one of the Warriors Three and friend of Thor, the main hero. He looks like a combination of: Oliver Queen (aka Green Arrow from DC comics who's modeled after Errol and Robin Hood), Cary Elwes from “The Princess Bride” and “Robin Hood Men In Tights”, and a young Errol Flynn! Joshua Dallas is the young actor who plays Fandral.
I found the following on the Wikipedia page for the “Thor” film:
“[Fandral is] a member of the Warriors Three, characterized as an irrepressible swashbuckler and romantic…Joshua Dallas said he believed that Fandral 'would like to think of himself a philanderer. He’s a lover, not a fighter'. Dallas also mentioned that Errol Flynn was an inspiration for the character stating, 'He was a big inspiration for the character and for me. I watched a lot of his movies and kind of got that into my bones. I tried to bring out that little bit of Flynn-ness in it. Flynn had a lot of that boyish charm that Fandral’s got all in him'.”
So I thought that was pretty cool. :-) I've attached 2 images: one of Fandral from the Thor comics, and the other of Joshua Dallas as Fandral.

In this video clip, you can have a short glimpse at “the very confidential Errol Flynn” at the opening of the film festival of Cannes in probably 1949. Hope you enjoy!

And here, if you scroll down, you see him try a boat named “Monocoque”… just to add to Tina's previous boat post.

It occurred to me that the Docklines posting should have gone to the Promo section and so I moved it there just now. Please read Tina's excellent comment about an article in the newsletter, it is well worth your time!
