Dear fellow Flynn fans,

let`s just post here pics of Errolesque actors that wore the must have moustache at least for a while, trial & error.

Enjoy,

      A fine example that at times every body in Thinseltown had to have a moustache, Barberman Tim. Even that Cabot guy tried…

        Silly Cabot. Everyone knows whiskers were for Flynn. A tricky kid he was.

    It just dawned on me, redbaronheinz, that we should pencil in these pals of Errol. Though no one topped the tonsorial sublimity of Flynn, these three expatriates of England gave it the old Hollywood try.

      There was a time when facial hair had flair all around the world, Gentleman Tash. For that Cantinflas guy it even became sort of an international passeport.

        Cantinflas’s ‘stache just can’t fly, hermanoheinz. It could use around another eighty days.

        But here’s a mexican movie muchacho, the great Gilbert Roland, (with his wife and former radio co-star to Errol, Constant Bennett) constantly better lookin’ than his cinematic compadre and tin-can lookin’ fellow countryman, Cantinflas.

      Was Errol in Abdul the Damned?

        King Farouk was another beard bearer as well as a friend of Flynn`s (fridge). He is likely to have coined the term walrus moustache…
        Errol was to appear in Gregory Ratoff`s spoof of the ousted Egyptian monarch in “Abdullah the Great” aka Abdullah`s harem”.

    Further proof of the futile pursuit of the Flynnmeister’s heroically hirsute superiority. Little Richard’s pilosity in particular has too much velocity. Looks like he jumped back in the alley with long tall sally at least a few too many times.

    And the upper lip oddity below should have been deloused and demoused long ago, forever extinguished from Water’s World, and ours.

              Many men mustered a moustache, Gentleman Thin, but few wore it as well as Errol. Academy Award winner Robert Donat was the number one contender. Fortunately for Flynn he declined the Cap Blood assignement. That’s why we are all here today: immortalephemera.com…

      In case you were wondering what the connection Tom is with Errol:

      Tom Conway (brother of George Sanders)starred in The Falcon. I have copied from a website:

      “With his Bond-like resilience and devil-may-care banter, the debonair amateur sleuth known as the Falcon makes the viewer feel reassured and protected as he leads us down those mean streets in search of answers—and gorgeous dames.”

      “Conway’s work in the Falcon deserves the Errol Flynn Prize for Formulaic But Consistently Awesome Performances. I’d also award him the Ronald Colman Cup for Fine Moustaches. If anybody ever looked more badass holding a teacup, I’ve never seen it. It’s not difficult to understand how the Falcon series—which RKO initially planned on cancelling soon after Sanders left—actually grew more popular once Conway took it over.”

    Timothy Dalton got the purr, the flair and the facial hair of Errol in his villainous role of Neville Sinclair in “The Rocketeer”. Even as a baddie he entchants the girlie. Unfortunately he also plays along the Higham hoax and buys into Flynn as an Alter Eagle of Nazi Germany. I wish this superb stage actor had been given the chance for a third assignment as James Bond in “Goldeneye” as originally planned.

      Sadly I missed Turban Bey by a hairline, when he died a few years back in Vienna. He resettled here after his Hollywood days and was very approachable for interviews. Austria honored him with a special stamp. There even is a documentary out called ” Chased by luck” about him, where he recalled Errol as enchanting and very kind and Lana Turner as mesmerizing and kind but of a different kind…

    For Walt “Call me Uncle” Disney a moustache was rather a mouse have than a must have. Still he gave Errol an idea of how to dress when starting out in Hollywood.

    Rival in love for that Forsyte woman and the original choice for that unflynnished film.

    Dear Sir Shang,

    Inspired by the sedulity of this thrilling thread of yours, I have assiduously searched my ever-more-musty memories for evidence of who it was that first inspired our suitably hirsute Hollywood hero to wear a pencil-thin moustache.

    After diligent deliberation – using the tried and true investigative method of timeline analysis – Voila! I now know!

    First, it must be established that fearless thespian Flynn was essentially always hairless above the lip prior to Captain Blood. (Except, of course, in that Curious film in which he played the maniacal Mr. Moxie, when he wore that Magic Marker-thick monstrosity of a mustache, rather than a pencil-thin.)

    Next, we see him in Don’t Bet on Blondes, No stache there!

    Then, Blood. Barely more a ‘stache than Lady O Herself!

      Well Barberman Tim, back in those bygone silentmovie days in order to fill someone’s swashbuckler boots, a moustache was an almost must. Some sort of hereditary habit if you will.

    But then, as can be seen in the link below, Flynn charged forward after Blood with his famous pencil-thin.

    www.tumblr.com…

    So, what happened between Blood and Charge? … Who with a(n) (in)famous mustache did Errol meet for the first time in between Blood and Charge??

    Three Clues: Lili was there. So was another famous foreign actress. It did not happen in the U.S., nor overseas.

    (This is all in humor, of course, Sir Shang, but historically accurate nonetheless.)

    Many would say this circa-’35 moustache that Errol saw was much more a moust-not-have than a moust have.

     

  33. Gentleman Tim

    April 8, 2018 at 3:19 pm

    This (in)famous moustache that Errol saw for the first time in ’35 was connected to a woman with whom he allegedly once had an affair. He reportedly gave vague details of his brief, but memorable relationship with her, but did not include any mention of an affair in My Wicked Wicked Ways.

    They first met in late 1935. He later described her as exotically beautiful, with long dark hair, and piercing eyes. At their first meeting, she wore see-through clothing with nothing underneath.

      If Frida Kahlo is the woman you were refering to, Riveraman Tim, I beg to differ. She was wearing her moustache above her eyes!

    Are you sure, Sir Shang? I think Tyrone P. may have loaned his unibrow to Senorita Frida, who, in turn, loaned her pencil-thin to Mr. Flynn. Then Kahlo trotted off with Trotsky. Maybe Breshnev was inspired by her too??

      The beard as benchmark put aspiring actors under duress, Gentleman Trim. Patrick Knowles was no exception and made for a formidable Flynn lookalike.

        April 26, 2018 at 2:11 pm

        A good guy, friend to Errol, and actor, but Knowles was nolo contendere to Flynn – except for, as you punnily put it slangheinz, his moust-have moustache. Here’s a bit of his obit:

        “A moustache can make a difference. Without it, Patric Knowles was just another of Hollywood’s handsome British types, but with his upper lip decorated he was dapper, distinguished, roguish and dashing – just like Errol Flynn.”

        www.google.com…

        And here’s Errol engaging in a touch of Patricide, for his buddy/brother having twice made moves on Errol’s girl, first in Charge, and then in Four’s a Crowd.

          This blog is quickly becoming the equivalent of the longest running theater play on London`s West- End: “The mousetrap” by Agatha Christie. Let`s therefore call this here “The Mousttrap”, shall we Gentleman Wiff?

          Pat was a class act, still I think David Niven would have been an ideal Will Scarlett. But we left another brother from an other mother and a different father out, when it comes to fury lipped Flynnalikes. Freddie McEvoy acted out in “Song of the desert”, even though he is more difficult to spot than Errol in “Lady from Shanghai”.

            I agree with you, s.h., P.K. was moust definitely a class act, stache or no stache (grassy Knowles or no grassy Knowles.) E.F., however, did write to him in the Summer of ’40 or so to address two urgent matters. First and formoust, P.K.’s decision to train in Canada as an RAF pilot. Secondly, to (humorously) chastise him for taking towels from the Hotel del Coronado, compromising Errol’s good name there.

              Moust ado about nothing, Goatee Tim, the slouch hat lacks sex appeal very much. Dodgeball City head honcho Ben Stiller shows how to wear it well.

      Reggie was a wicked choice for Errol, especially when the role could easily have gone to Tom Selleck and Kevin Klein, ain’t that right Blogman Tim? I prolongue this facial hairy thread stating the importance of being Ernst. Bud that is, flying ace & private pilot, many marrying man, actor on „Murder in a private car“ ultimately going out with a blast showing Flynn a way out he wasn‘t willing to take.

    Hollywood Boulevard Bill was a designated Flynn heir. But then Holden took to the bottle (not a baby one at that) and exed himself out of competition. He wore a stache for a while. One can image this fine actor very well for “The Roots of Heaven” as Forsyth, the role eventually Errol took over.

      dear doubleindemnityheinz,

      Fred MacMurray knew he was no Freddie McEvoy, never mind Errol Flynn. So, maybe he thought he growing a pencil thin would boost his sex appeal. It doesn’t appeared to have worked as well as it did for Flynn, though he did end up with three sons, Uncle Charlie, and a shaggy dog, living with him.

      Let’s ask Alexis:

      Alexis, who looked better, Errol Flynn or Fred MacMurray?
