    This is one I fixed up using Picassa 3 software. I snatched this off of some website in a google search enlarged the dimensions using Photostudio 5 and fixed it the best I could, as the image was all washed out. I then shared a copy with Karl and I think Ralph. Overall I think I did a fair job of balancing the skintones and black leather gunbelt. which I used as a guide in restoring the color The late afternoon sun must have cast a rather golden glow originally. Well, if not a perfect job it is far improved over the original image I snatched. Iam rather proud of it. Before I sharpened the image the eagle on the belt buckle was indistinct. Having lived in Orange County California for 10 years Iam aware that the Sunlight often appears this color most often in late May to Early June. Especially about the time of The Memorial Day Weekend. I don't know when Without Incident was originally filmed but Iam willing to bet it may have been about the afore mentioned time period. Michael Joseph Pieper.

    Well, I thank you very much for that David.
    I never intended for this picture to find a public posting because I was'nt sure if my snatching it off the internet and fixing it had violated any copyrights or regulations.
    I did so for the Benefit of my personal collection. And I was happy to share it amoung friends.
    Iam Very Proud to have fixed this Photo.
    Restoring photos is my hobby and a very passionate hobby it is.
    I have restored some very historic photos. Including one taken after the Battle of Gettysburg.
    And I have laboured arduous hours doing so, trying to do my very best.
    I have one of Katharine Hepburn an extremely rare snapshot taken of Her during a Live Stage Performance of The Taming of The Shrew.
    This Picture was so indistinct as to be Virtually Invisible.
    It was taken with a simple box camera with no flash from the center of The Theatre in the dark.
    I spent Three Years using various softwares Tweaking it to Perfection.
    That Snapsot now looks like it was taken with a Leica with adequate lighting.
    The image is so sharp and clear it makes me Weep.
    You can see all the Detail in Her Costume.
    And The Tones are perfection.
    I have never shared that photograph because the man who owns it never gave me consent to copy it.
    Not that there was ever any copyright on it to begin with.
    He is now 87 years old, and Iam waiting until His passing until I begin quietly sharing it.
    I desire no profit from it.
    But Iam very proud of my accompishment in preserving it for Posterity. Michael.

    Michael!
    Most blogs are sources of news in many ways and we are no different. The images we reproduce are still under the control of their copyright holders and are set here to be viewed as historical objects in the context of illustrating our articles or events where no non-commercial alternative exists. The full image disclaimer from the About page of the blog reads:
    Note about the Images on this blog site:
    Images on this site are a faithful digitalization of a unique Historic Image, and the copyrights for them are most likely held by the person who took the Image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of Images to illustrate the event in question/articles on this site where: The Image depicts a non-reproducible historic event, and no free alternative exists or can be created, and the image is low resolution and of no larger and of no higher quality than is necessary for the illustration of an article, and the use of images on The Errol Flynn Blog is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright on the English-language blog theerrolflynnblog.com…, hosted on servers in the United States by Blogging.com…, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of these images, on the internet or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement.
    Basically, we are sharing news/opinions and questions about Errol Flynn amongst a community of readers and often we use a captured image to illustrate the subjects of our posts. None of the images are for sale unless stated otherwise in which case only the copyright holder or a licensee has the ability to sell them.
    Your wonderful work on these images was shared here as a tribute to Flynn by those who received them including myself and I think nothing else could show how much dedication and talent went into creating them than to reproduce them for us all. We are very grateful to you for doing such rewarding work!
    Your Gettysburg image and the one you mention of Katharine Hepburn sound exquisite…

    “Without Incident” was a made-for-tv western, airing on June 6, 1957 on CBS' Playhouse 90. It's available here and there in bootleg form.

    You mean now I have to search for this movie? I thought I had everything! I just finished watching The Best of the Abbott and Costello Show, Vol. 2 (Netflix) just so I could watch EF as Black Pedro. He looked great (to me). Bruce Cabot and Rhonda Fleming also appeared.
