Maybe I should ashamed of myself but I have never seen it other than some easy bits on YouTube. Never sitting down to watch it straight thru. I wanted to do it properly and also my buddy said he would watch it with me if I ever purchased it. I have been surprised by many of his later films on how much I enjoyed them. My only guide for years was “The Films Of Errol Flynn” by Tony and Rudy and they were very hard on his later films. I wish Rudy would update it with some revised and expanded reviews. Any way my question is who here owns this copy or any copy and can you advise me about it.

Hi twinarchers, I have a copy that looks just like the one pictured.I have only watched it once so far.The movie is made in a kind of half movie/half documentary way with Errol’s lovely voice narrating throughout and he pops up here and there in the movie.I found it to be very interesting because it is Errol’s last movie,but also found it to be very sad for the same reason.It is also interesting for seeing Beverly Aadland too,she is a likable actress in this.It is not the worst movie I’ve ever seen,but it’s far from the best,it is a watchable B movie.But if Errol hadn’t of been in it I would never have bothered with it.

One of my worst films is The Norseman with Lee Majors and also Limbo that was a good film but the ending left you hanging so bad I wanted to smash my TV. (A sea plane is landing in the water to either rescue or kill the main characters and just as it hits the water the film ends.) Now we are left to make up the ending ourselves. A travesty for sure. Otherwise it was a very well done film.

Did the second feature, Untamed Women, star Lili?

The one in green on the Untamed Women poster, tw? … I don’t remember Lili having such short arms.
P.S. Was just at Lili’s last house yesterday. Will try to post some photos, as soon as I get a good chance.

Oddly enough, tw, the wild brunette on the bottom right does look a bit like Lili!
But, like the Family Court judge told Errol in Divorce Court: Positively no refunds!

Rudy, who has been helping to edit my book, “Errol Flynn-An illustrated Life Chronology,” is now retired and unlikely to update “The Films of…” Having discussed this film with him at length, twin, it is also unlikely he’d change his opinion anyway!

I would love to get my copy of TFOEF autographed by Rudy. I have enjoyed his commentaries on DVD’s and documentaries as well. I have tried for years in vain to get contact information on the net to ask him about signing my book if I sent it to him but no luck. I have done that a few times with others already and sent with it envelopes pre-paid to send back to me.
