The Story of William Tell (plus) September 2, 1953, to End of Year!

10 Feb

    Part 4 finale:

Flynn’s troubles with producing his film about William Tell continue. An Italian court and local police are now involved for non-payment of a large variety of bills. Flynn then begins his quest to find investors to complete the picture.

Errol’s most positive highlight of this year is the birth of his daughter.

He will continue for years to come to find a way to get his William

Tell story produced …but to no avail.

All that is left is approximately 25+ minutes of Cinemascope color film, with no sound, in storage in film cans in Boston, Mass.

“It would have been a great film,” commented actor Roddy McDowall after viewing the tranche of the picture.
