I watched a bio on the late Tony Curtis and was very suprised to find
that he was a big fan of Errol Flynn, in fact it was Errol's movies that inspired him to get into acting. He used to act out scenes from the “charge of the light brigade” and “Robin Hood” as a child and he had a lot in common with Errol too, I think they both had that lovable roguish demeanour about them, both struggled to be recognized as “actors” and both had difficult relationships with their mothers, does anyone else agree?

I just read the post of ILIKEFLYNN and he /she reminded us that Sean's 70 Birthday was on May 31st.
We all forgot to honor Errol's son with an appropriate post! I for one hold my head in shame, I feel guilty to have forgotten about it.
I like to remedy this situation by posting this remembrance in the name of ILIKEFLYNN and myself, who is unable to place this post him/ herself and who wishes to join us!
It was May 31st 1941 when Sean Leslie Flynn son of Errol Flynn cried out for the first time and grew into a most handsome young man standing 6'3″ tall and equally handsome as his father! He too ventured into a movie carrier and made quite a few movies, but decided that the movie business it not quite his forte.
Tracking back, baby Sean grew into a thoughtful, sensitive, kind and intuitive child and teenager who had to endure the sadness, as any
child would, being separated from his father. Every child wishes to be
part of his parents on a continual basis and in Sean's life it was only conceivable at intervals, yet Errol was with him as often as allowed and humanly possible. When ever son and
father were together they had great and memorable times. They loved each
other! In our days we call it “Quality Time”, they had that with certainty.
Errol made sure of that, he loved his son ever so dearly.
Needless to say, Sean inherited his father's sense of adventure and the risk taking bravery, which ventured him into a carrier of covering the most treacherous war in Vietnam and Cambodia. He became a war photographer and correspondent for Life Magazine, which ended his life much to early and extremely tragical. To this day his sister Rory tries to find his remains! A heart-wrenching story of a young man who should have lived to tell his story!
I am sure we all wish to remember and commemorate Sean and celebrate the life he lived! Please join ILIKEFLYNN and me with your heartfelt comments to praise Sean's short but ever so worthwhile and courageous life!
ILIKEFLYNN and I wish you all never to suffer tragedy only to experience the happiness of life it can offer!

This is a little off-topic in regards to Errol Flynn but I assume all here at the blog love 'old' movies.
I just wanted to alert those in the US who have access to TCM that 'I Know Where I'm Going' will be airing on Wednesday 29th June at 8.00pm.
For those who haven't seen this…. please try and catch it. It is a truly beautiful film and quite possibly the greatest British film ever made.
best wishes,
Brian.
