It is No Secret – He Lived in Errol’s Old House

01 Jun

It is No Secret. Stuart Hamblin used to live in Errol’s Old House on Mulholland. Like Errol, he loved and treasured the place – used to have legendary friends like John Wayne, Roy Rogers, Johnny Cash & Ronald Reagan up there as guests. (Like Reagan, he even ran for President, coming in fourth in ’52, I believe.) Heck, Hamblin even broadcasted a famous Christian music radio show from Mulholland Farm.

Here it is during Hamblem’s time there – from Jack Marino & Warrior Films, I believe:

And here’s Hamblem on Mulholland’s “Lower Pasture” – from “Errol Flynn Slept Here”, I believe.

Against All Flags Art

01 Jun

Reynold Brown did the poster art and I found a site that has many posters on it. Some images are very good quality like the one here but the finished poster only came out in part either by mistake or on purpose. It is good enough that one could make their own and try to sell it. I like to collect images for myself so that one day I might make a poster for my wall but not to sell.

Roots Of Brevity

01 Jun

I received and watched my copy of The Roots Of Heaven on Blu Ray and enjoyed it. They did a pretty good job on the transfer and its nice to see Flynn in widescreen. However if you put his scenes back to back I am not sure it would be 15 minutes long. It should have been much more especially the scene where he talks about his problems during WWII and what happened to his men in that they stayed silent but he talked to save himself. It goes by so quickly you may miss the point if you didn’t already know about it from reading reviews like I have. It explains why he is such a mess and I wonder if it was like that because of Flynn’s condition of not being able to memorize he lines better? What a bummer. I know they had trouble from the heat but you would never know it from watching the film. They never once mention it and they don’t show anyone drinking water like they are suffering at all. They are not sweating that bad either unless they had 100 wardrobe changes during the takes. Juliette Greco is very sexy I must say. My favorite scenes with him are when they start getting down to business towards the end of the film when he acts more normal and not a drunken fool talking about his jumping bean. I wonder if they will put Istanbul on Blu Ray? That is another Cinemascope film.
