Dear fellow Flynn fans,
here is another monumental movie that Errol didn`t get his armour on for.
Based loosely on the novel “The Talisman” by Sir Walter Scott, Warner Bros. clearly wanted to jump on the Ivanhoe bandwagon with this vehicle. The tableround was decked, but Flynn was kept in check. He played “The dark Avenger” in England instead and narrowly missed appearing in one of “The fifty worst films of all time”: en.wikipedia.org…
His probaly was the role of Sir Kenneth of Huntington, a noble scotsman, siding with King Richard the Lionheart in the 3rd Crusade against the Saracens. The chivalric love interest would`ve been Virginia Mayo, while the musical score was composed by flynntimate Max Steiner and errolpal Otto (von) Reichow makes an uncredited appearance as Austrian soldier.
Brush up your Germlish, Laddies and Gentlewomen, for here it is in its entire cinemascopic splendor:
Enjoy,

Flynn with Mayo! That could have been very tasty, lionheartedheinz.
Here’s an appetizer, with Errol starring in what could be titled ‘Virginia Sitting’:

Over Miss Mayo’s right shoulder is a sign saying ‘F’, for fans of Flynn apparently.
