The Sword of Villon – Errol’s Last Swashbuckler

11 Nov

Thank You to Ralph for the Information & Inspiration Leading to This Post!

The Sword of Villon – Errol’s Last Swashbuckler – Filmed for TV at Hal Roach Studios in 1956.

Based on the Life and Adventures of Renowned 15th Century French “Poet, Thief & Patriot” Francois Villon.
www.britannica.com…

Along the Lines of The Adventures of Robin Hood & Don Juan. Sounds Perfect for Flynn!

Hal Roach Introduced the Show with the Following:

A Tale of Derring-Do
Of Lords and Ladies
– and Scoundrels, too

*Oh, yes – and Nazis by Air. But, Please, No One Tell Chuck the Cluck Piggyham’s Estate! Last thing needed is a chapter on how Errol almost ended the careers of Benny Hill and The Beatles via V1 Doodlebugs.
