The Gorilla Hunt

18 Sep

There is a silent film called the Gorilla Hunt. There is a lot of information on the Films maker Alton. it is a long read but if you do not want to read it all I never knew that Errol had a extensive library of silent films and one of those is called the gorilla hunt. when they found this film it is the only one in existence after all this is the main part about Errol.

I am the grandson of the Ben Burbridge who made this film. I have seen the silent film original version, one time in 2004. The only known copy belonged to Errol Flynn, whose estate contained his collection of many silent films. The collection was donated to Museum of Modern Art in NYC, where it competed [with] many others for restoration. In perhaps 2002 or 2003, it was selected, restored, and is in the possession of MOMA and tightly controlled.”

From the Princess Theatre in Alton to the estate of Errol Flynn to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. That’s a pretty impressive journey for any film. Genene
If you want to read the whole lot here is a link . There is a picture of Errol and Lilli
