    Does anyone have this film on VHS or DVD? My email address is la************@gm***.com… This film and Hello God is all I lack. Thanks, Larry

    Good luck, Larry–those films are all the whole WORLD lacks! They, along with “I Adore You” have been missing for decades. Sorry 'bout that.

    Do you mean to say that you have “William Tell” on DVD or VHS????

    Hi Larry;
    You, every Errol Flynn fan around the world and all the members of this blog are looking for these missing movies, but it seems they are not available anywhere. Maybe one day let's keep hoping!
    Take care,
    Tina

    Tina, I had William Tell on CD. I can get another copy. What I did was present it as a gift to the owner of Gozillaflix and he loved it. He sent me a DVD of the Adventures of Robin Hood in pristine condition with all of the fight scenes that had been left on the cutting room floor at WB. I own a copy of the Complete Metropolis with the 25 minutes that was found in Argentina. In 1964 they would show feature films in the auditorium when I was in high school and I saw the Sea Hawk on large screen. It would seem that Murder at Monte Carlo would be found in England. It was filmed there. Have a great day! Larry

    Hold on, hold on… You really HAD William Tell on CD? How much of the footage actually? As for Hello God, there might be news some day…

    No visuall it was about 55 minutes and all dialogue. Errol actually tried to steal Hello God, but was unsuccessful. It was released in europe. Jack Warner didn't like the film and it was to him anti war and he felt the american public wouldn't accept it. Larry

    Hi Larry;
    You say you had the William Tell CD – the actual half hour footage? That would be amazing! How could you get another copy? I would love to have one. I purchased Crossed Swords from Gozillaflix and it is o.k, I wouldn't say prestine, but good. I have a copy which is atrocious and paid $ 25.00 for it. Would Gozillaflix sell the William Tell and more so the Robin Hood one with the extra footage which is not in the movie?
    What do you mean with – you own a copy of “the Complete Metropolis?'
    You are right “Murder at Monte Carlo” was filmed in England, but I was told by the BBC that they think it was lost in a bombardment during the war. I would say if it would be somehow available they would produce copies as they make copies of all the early movies of Errol. But we can keep on hoping.
    It is great to have you on board
    Regards,
    Tina

    The complete “Metropolis” with the missing footage is now available commercially.
    A copy of “Murder At Monte Carlo” was sent to WB in Hollywood and I'm in the process of hunting it down.

    I called TCM in 2007 about this film. They said a request was made to restore this film for a festival. After searching their archive it was declared lost. I pray you are successful in tracking down this film. I've been searching four years on this film. Larry

    Hi Robert;
    You are right, they should have a copy as Irving Asher must have sent on to Warner, because I read that it was “Murder at Monte Carlo” for which Errol received the contract to go to Hollywood.
    If anybody can find it, I am sure you will!

    Hi Robert;
    Please could you explain to me what it means
    “The complete “Metropolis” with the missing footage is now available commercially.”
    How does one know the difference in what ever it is?
    Thank Tina

    Hi Larry;
    I am surprised that you could speak to TCM, must have been a real treat. I find TCM to be the most unapproachable, inaccessible and standoffish company. No phone number for any information – just for ordering, no email, no contact us – no nothing! One can't speak to anybody!
    I wonder how you got a phone number and have a conversation with anybody? Just curious!
    Take care,
    Tina

    Tina, we were lucky here in Germany some time back when they screened this complete version on TV, it was just amazing. It proves that sometimes one is lucky and can find lost treasures, and be it in Argentina.

    Hi Robert;
    How is this Complete-Metropolis movie connected with Errol?
    I told you – the dust has taken over!
    Take care,

    Hi Inga;
    Are you saying you saw “Murder at Monte Carlo” on TV or you saw Complete Metropolis? I am quite stymied with all the latest confusing posts. Is it old age, kitchen dust or what? – that I don't understand?
    It would be nice if somebody sorts out my confusions!
    Take care,
    Tina

    Tina, my poor one… I spoke of Metropolis which I saw on TV.
    I think the confusion stems from the fact that Larry mentioned that he owned the Complete Metropolis in connection with other rare goodies. He just wanted to underline that rare stuff is available. Then you asked what it meant and hence, with all the different levels of comments, came further questions and answers. There is no connection of Errol to Metropolis except that parts of Metropolis were, for a long time, also considered as lost, as is the case with so many Flynn films. Now a little better?

    Hi Inga;
    You sure can say “Poor Tina”, I can't remember ever having been so confused in my life! Quite a rarity for me – it must be the dust – haha!
    Look forward to your words of wisdom!
    Take care,
    Tina

    Tina, My second copy of Crossed Swords is pristine. When Murder at Monte Carlo was made the British studio of Warner Bros sent a copy to Jack Warner in Hollywood to judge Errol himself, he asked his personal secretary what she thought and she responded He's already a star and this was before they finished Captain Blood. The 5 star version of the Advetures of Robin Hood is on sale at Gozillaflix for $9.95 right now. Grab it! I paid twice that for my copy. Larry

    Hi Larry;
    I did purchase a copy of Crossed Swords from Gozillaflix and it is very good, I would say not pristine, but very good. I bought “The Sword of Villon” not from Gozillaflix, it is so bad one can hardly make out the movie it is so dark – much worse than the first copy of Crossed Swords I bought.
    By the way, I thought that it was Irving Asher, England's Warner Brothers boss, who asked his personal secretary what she thought of Errol and she responded “He is already a Star!” There are always different stories around.
    What is the difference between the 5 star Robin Hood and the usual copies? I have two copies and they are both the same and of which one is from the TCM package.
    Take care,
    Tina

    Tina, The 5 star copy is from Gozillaflix. They buy their copies on reel. My copy has all of the deleted fight scenes on my DVD. Does your Crossed Swords copy say Pristine on the outer cover? Also, The top 3rd is in Italian. Larry

    Hi Larry;
    That is very interesting, has your DVD the jousting tournament or part of it, which were deleted. There are pictures of Errol wearing a chain-like armor, which is from this jousting scene.
    No my copy doesn't say Pristine! On top of the cover it says: “Il Maestro di Don Giovanni” Within the picture of Errol and Gina top left side it says: “aka Crossed Swords”
    On the bottom of the picture it gives Gina top billing where top billing was Errol's.
    At the back there are 15 pictures and Gozillaflix.com… advertising 10,000 rare flix, it also says on the bottom digitally remastered.
    That's all! No Pristine and I just bought in March for $29.95 plus shipping.
    Please let me know about the fight scenes and I just might buy it too.
    Thanks for the information and my best wishes to you,
    Tina

    The jousting scene was never filmed, and the only real deleted scenes were the duel and archery challenge between Friar Tuck, Robin Hood, and King Richard, and the final scene of Robin and Marian riding off into the sunset.
