    What a terrific telegram from Errol – championing young Billy Travilla’s great costume work, the spring before he (Travilla) won his Academy Award for Don Juan. What a shame The Academy never even nominated, nevermind awarded, the most convincing, exciting, and popular, costume actor of all time – Errol Flynn – the man who made these pictures work, at a level no one else has ever approached.

    Blood – Charge – Essex – Robin Hood – Sea Hawk – Boots – Don Juan.. What actor other than Errol Flynn could have been/would have been as fantastic in such costume films? No one. Not even with Mr. Travilla. …. Like Warner realized: There’s never been anyone half as good as Flynn in such pictures. … The Academy should get over their absurd prejudices and finally recognize the most exciting star in Hollywood history – Errol Flynn.
