Oh my, now I can't shut up. But I've had a question bugging me for a while that one of my fellow Flynnians might be able to answer. On TCM recently, Ben Mankiewicz related that William Wyler had approached EF to play Monty Clift's role in the Heiress. I hadn't heard this before and was curious about the reference. Does anybody know the source?

As promised, here's the link for Kehr on EF's westerns.
www.nytimes.com…. Great photo of Alexis, EF and the fine Warner character player John Litel.
Strange that Warner Home Video still hasn't released Silver River to the domestic market. I picked up my copy…in France! It's well worth seeing. EF and Sheridan play off each other well, and the film has a great score by Max Steiner.
Best, Sean

Greetings, fellow Flynnians! What a privilege to be a part of David's great site. For my maiden post, I'm attaching Dave Kehr's recent review of the Errol Flynn Adventures boxed set in the New York Times. In my opinion, Kehr is one of the best writers on classic film today, and this review more than supports my point. As long as I have been watching Our Man Flynn, I had never considered Raoul Walsh's role in bending the heroic Flynn persona, making it more quietly human and believable during the war, especially after the rape acquittal.
Kehr also wrote an excellent review of the Errol Flynn western set that came out a couple of years back. I'll try and find that link for posting.
Best to all, Sean.
