That sure was alot of dough in ’53, Karl. I read that Samuek Feller (a prominent Wall Street banking and estate lawyer, I believe) became Errol’s “General Counsel” by at least 1952, performing services with respect to payment of Nora’s alimony. He may have also had some involvement in the Duncan McMartin case, though I’m not certain about that.

Thanks to our quiet gumshoe detective Karl Holmberg who unearthed this gem of Flynn history! Ralph Schiller

Karl the Great`s gumshoe sticks like super glue. Now we know that Errol raked in some dough just in time for Christmas time and the birth of his daughter Arnella. But unluckily not enough to continue shooting Tell.
