Reagan’s most difficult dialogue … Mailbag!
Our dear friend Karl Holmberg writes to us:
… from Desparate Journey, 1942, and this is the film he was referencing during a news reporter’s question:

Reagan was out of the limelight, and it didn’t seem to bother him. Asked by a reporter whether he felt overshadowed by Gorbachev, Reagan replied: ‘I don’t resent his popularity. Good Lord, I once co-starred * with Errol Flynn.’
* meaning that the credit read: “starring Errol Flynn and Ronald Reagan
