A new movie about Sean?
“I want things to give my life gravitas, and that’s the movie about Sean Flynn.”
Errol takes Sean and the Tan Man to ELMO
“We met as teenagers in Palm Beach. One night when we were about 15 and both at boarding school, Errol Flynn showed up in New York and took us to dinner. To El Morocco, which wasn’t even a place to go to dinner, it was a nightclub. Sean and I showed up in our best Brooks Brothers blazers,”

…Errol Flynn held up the Robin Hood company for half an hour when he accidently set fire to Basil Rathbone’s beard, then completed the damage by tossing a bucket of water in his face.

ON THE SETS: EXTERIOR — PRAIRIE — MODESTO, CALIF.
Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland ride to the top of a low ride and pull their horses to a halt. Their eyes travel over the countryside. Flynn, making his debut as a Western hero in Dodge City, lifts his arm, points off into the distance.
“See that herd of buffalo grazing so peacefully over there?” he says to Miss De Havilland.
She nods and her eyes follow his outstretched hand. Then she breaks into an involuntary giggle, spoiling the scene.
Flynn’s “herd of buffalo” is a lone, tired looking cow.
But when the picture is completed, the cow will be a real herd of buffalo. A camera crew traveled all the way to Oklahoma to photograph one of the few remaining herds of the animals that made the nickel famous. There aren’t any in California.

ERROL AT THE CAFE´ LAMAZE
Figure me this. On Wednesday night, Errol Flynn came into the Cafe´ Lamaze alone and ordered dinner. While it was cooking, he put in a long distance call to Palm Springs. Oddly enough, the call was to Lili Damita. And even more odd, when the two had finished talking, Flynn canceled his order for dinner and dashed off in a steaming hurry.
Fine goings on for an-about-to-divorced pair! Or are they?

ERROL & LILI AT THE BROWN DERBY
Even the best friends of Lili Damita and Errol Flynn are smiling at the story that broke today on their marital reconciliation. The story came as the result of the discovery of the pair at the Beverly Hills Brown Derby last night. They looked serene. News hounds bombarded them for a statement. Both know the value of publicity and gave them a statement. But their close friends, knowing the fiery temperament of both, predict that the reunion will be of brief and stormy duration.
