A letter to Errol

14 Oct

Dear Errol,

66 years ago you left this earth to roam around the 7 seas forever. A lot has happened since then. One thing didn’t change. There are still people in the world who discover your movies and love them. It happened to me over 5 years ago. I am watching your movies ever since. You are still remembered by a lot of people. Some remember the bad things, but most remember the good things. You are still a hero to many. You can be very proud of Deirdre and Rory. They still visit filmfestivals in your honour. They delight fans and strangers alike with their stories about you, and ofcourse their friendliness. I propose a toast to you, the master of the 7 seas and beyond. The man who still is loved by the people who visit this blog and many others. One day we all join you, but untill then, a toast to the best swashbuckler there ever was.

I hope everybody will join me with this toast to the man who gave us Captain Blood, Robin Hood, George Armstrong Custer and many happy hours in the cinema and at home. Viva Errol Flynn

In case you couldn’t ’find your copy of  the Wisconsin Journal Times, on June 21, 1941,

you may have missed this ad…and I don’t believe this profile will be showing up in Errol’s

portrait gallery.

Enjoy.

Sirocco

06 Oct

I just found this on Bluesky. You can buy the book for $19.99 as paperback or read the ebook for free if you are a amazon unlimited member. For more information you can follow the link. I am not sure what kind of book it is, but as it is about our dear Errol, I thought it might be interesting.

A little update. I found it as Ebook at sites of bookstores in the Netherlands. I was able to get it for free. From what I saw it contains pictures and Errol’s lifestory. Not sure if all is correct though. I hope the fans outside the USA are able to find it too.

Errol Flynn and his THE WHITE RAJAH Screenplay in 1936

07 Jul

Flynn’s screenplay, with co-author William A. Ulman, was accepted by Warner Bros. in early 1936 with all kinds of promises. But Errol’s career took off and he became busier and more popular than anyone ever imagined. The White Rajah kept popping up again and again … over a dozen different years there was an article about Errol and the making of the picture. Thee last time was a letter from Flynn to Jack L. Warner on May 20, 1947, that it would be a good time to make the film.

Errol Flynn and Bing Crosby, a Double Celebration!

 Here  is the magazine coverage of Bing Crosby’s birthday party from Movie Life magazine, August, 1953. The party was actually held in Cannes, France and put on by Flynn, with Gary Cooper and friends. The celebration was a double party for Bing’s 50th birthday and the announcement of Flynn’s wife, Patrice Wymore, about their expected baby.

 Warner Brothers was spending more for ads in the fan magazines to promote Errol’s films. Here are three samples from June, 1937. Money well spent, of course …

Rare Errol Flynn Photos 1936

28 May

Here are a pair of seldom scene publicity photos of Flynn at the Warner Studios during the week of November 9, 1936. They are staged photos of Flynn reading … or maybe just looking at … two distinctly different  documents. Both pictures are WB numbered with an EFPuBA68 and 69. The first publication, titled DIRALI, is an Armenian magazine, meaning “They said”.  The second one is a newspaper from India in the Gujiarati language, one of the 28 states, similar to Hindu.

Perhaps he is looking for openings of Captain Blood, since it began showings in Europe  in April and May.

    Hmmm…?
