    Fantastic! I didn’t know there was a radio version! Thank you, very much. This is one of my favorite Flynn performances as well as favorite Flynn comedies. I really wish he had been able to do more screwball comedies along these lines. It’s a very funny premise and Flynn is really terrific in light comedy. (especially the boxing scene, which he underplays beautifully) It’s also my favorite coffee mug. (I uploaded a pic but am unable to attach it, unfortunately)

      Thank you, Lollie. I love it, too – movie, trailer & radio show. All are such fun and reveal for those not already in the know (like us here!) what great comedic talent Errol had. In my book, he could have ultimately caught and passed even Cary Grant, who could have never even approached Errol in any action, western, historical costume, or swashbuckler role. And, as with all others, no one had Flynn’s masculine sexual power & magnetism.

      Btw, Lollie, thank you once again for telling us all about the newly availabe Perfect Specimen dvd!

        You are welcome Tim & I completely agree re Errol & Cary Grant (he was terrific,but there is no one who can touch EF).Errol is so naturally funny in his comedies,just the looks he gives & little things like that make him so much fun. :)

          Errol says: “Why, thank you. Ma’am. Much obliged to ya’.
