3. There was a Bell Featured at the Occasion, Too.

6. Bogie Attended, but without Bacall.
7. Took Place Next to the Arkansas River.
8. This Year is a Major Anniversary.

The Black Fox
31
Aug
In 1955, Errol Flynn made his final swashbuckler, “The Dark Avenger”. That same year, Danny Kaye made “The Court Jester”, a film that appeared to be a tribute/spoof of the swashbuckler films of Errol Flynn, complete with Basil Rathbone as the villain, Mildred Natwick (of “Against All Flags”) in a pseudo Una O’Connor-like role, as well as a Robin Hood-like character that seemed written specifically for Errol: The Black Fox. Was Errol offered the role? Probably. Instead, the heroic role was played by Edward Ashley, who received 12th billing. Of course, if Errol had played the role, his name would have been much, much higher in the credits. The film is still very entertaining.(and highly recommended for fans of Flynn) But if it had co-starred Errol Flynn, it would be much more famous.

Hi all- I found an interesting story about Errol’s visit to Hatfield House in 1954. This is the Errol I like to think about.
When Hollywood Came to Hatfield
I did search before I posted but I apologise in advance if this has already been recounted. Wouldn’t it have been great to take the tour with him!

Name All Surviving Errol Flynn leading ladies!

Aug
In recent years Errol Flynn fans saw the passing of many of his leading ladies from his films. These include Cornell Borchers, Ruth Roman, Eleanor Parker, Beverly Aadland, and Patrice Wymore.
Can you EF scholars name all the surviving Errol Flynn leading ladies from his films still alive today? Here are two hints, one name immediately comes to mind. Two of the leading ladies were child actresses at the time they worked with Flynn.
Thanks Ralph
