Errol Flynn and the Backslap Case Bahamas March 1952!
07
Apr
The “backslap” case against Duncan McMartin that took place in the Bahamas in mid-March, 1952
To set the scene, we will begin about mid-February while Errol is in Los Angeles recuperating from a fractured bone in his foot. He was injured during the filming of AGAINST ALL FLAGS on Feb. 1st. The foot was placed in a cast and Errol was given a cane to get around.
The cast was to remain for about 6 weeks, so production was halted.
But … as usual, Errol does not slow down. We pick it from there.
