Flynn’s Film? Errol’s Oscar?

27 Feb

Was Norman Maine based in part on Errol Flynn?
(and/or perhaps John Barrymore and/or Norman Kerry?)
books.google.com…

Was Errol offered the role, but rejected it?
www.imdb.com…

Would Errol have been a better Norman Maine?
greenbriarpictureshows.blogspot.com…

Or, did Jack Warner “blackball” him from getting it?

Was this Errol’s best chance to win an Academy Award for Best Actor?

Mr. Flynn, I Mean, Mr. Flint, Saves the World from Global Warming (in “Our Man Flynn”) and Hot Global Feminists (in “In Like Flint”), Romancing with Wild Women and Conversing with Trained Dolphins All Along His Errol-May-Care Way.

Derek Flint tributes Errol, showing The Baron to be even greater than Bond.

In addition to a bevy of beauties, there’s even a Basil-like staircase swordfight, ~ 1:32 in “Our Man Flint”.

And Flint is actually called “Mr. Flynn” at one point in the sequel! See ~ 1:16.
