I just ordered this film and it will be the first time in many years that I have seen it. I think I have seen it all the way thru but now I will have it in my collection. Ruth Roman is very nice and I enjoyed her in The Far Country with James Stewart which I hope will be put on Blu Ray some time since it is a great film but does not hold up to LED screens. I never saw it on a CRT but I am sure it looks much better on those.

I wonder what film Errol lost out on because of this injury. I found this photo on a site (address shown below)
I have no idea but this will be a good test for our resident Flynn experts.

Flynn Is The Master

After watching Against All Flags I had to put on Master Of Ballantrae. I have to admit that with location shooting, Cardiff filming it and maybe a larger budget if stands up better than Flags.
Even the matte painter is famous. You can see two of them below. My question is I have a DVD that is several years old and it is now available as a Warner Archive DVD. Is it the same transfer or a new one that is better? The old one looks pretty good but you never know. I will certainly get the Blu Ray if it comes out but not another DVD unless its far superior. Does anyone have both versions? Thanks
PS I found Yvonne Furneaux sexier than Beatrice Campbell. No wonder he was seeing her on the side.
She should have been the female lead I think.

Is “Against All Flags” the best kept secret in town?

I have to admit this is a film that has escaped me most of my life and never really watched it. I was too critical of Flynn after “the booze and the broads got to him” as a local film host Bill Kennedy used to say. Now however I take his later films for what they are and don’t put any expectations on them and what do you know?, I am having a great time. This film may be one of the best ones but it is hard to come by unless you get it in a package deal with 3 other films (shown below) or live in Europe region 2. This film deserves a proper Blu Ray release so there will be more talk about it since there is very little now. As it is it looks very good on my 1080p LED Sharp 60in and if they went one step farther it would really rock on Blu Ray. Three big stars ( Flynn, O’Hara, Quinn ) means 3 sets of fans from all over the world so I think it would sell. Any comments or am I alone on this one.
