The most popular sites really have no information on older films and I wonder how well his films did other than someones opinion. I found an interesting article but have no idea the source of the figures. Some may surprise you. I remember on one of the Yahoo groups there was a guy who had a source for these films and he was correct on one of them that I remember which was San Antonio. Its fun to read at any rate but would love to find an insider who could give us the numbers and also tell us how to figure them out with inflation to compare them to today’s films.

Sweet and gorgeous Sherry Jackson is back again, with tales of Errol, almost performing as the young Olivia character in The Snake Pit, crying for Mean Mr. Michael, and being dead on the beach in Hello God!
Welcome back, Sherry!

Dear fellow Flynn fans,
what do you make of the submarinan legend, that Errol can be spotted in the 1951 film “Pardon my French” starring two Flynn(ti)mates Paul Henreid and Merle Oberon?
He supposedly philmbombed a scene at the Harbour while on his way to his ZACA sporting the full beard from “Kim”.
After solving our Hollywood hero`s whereabouts as “Lord of Shanghai” in more ways than one: www.theerrolflynnblog.com…, the new task can only be to view the film and pinpoint the swaying swashbuckler.
The movie as such may have given him the idea of filming “The adventures of Captain Fabian” aka “The Bargain” aka “Bloodline” in the South of France.
PMF was shot in two versions. The second one being a French one, as was categorically required for foreign film companies by the French film authorities, which in turn provided homegrown actors and financial support.
Cap Fab deliberately fell short of these accordance and this contributed to many woes for Errol later on.
He had nothing to gain from this bargain and then he fell for William Tell…
Enjoy,

Hey David….as we continue to get better information from the golden age of movies … we have been updating lots of stuff on our Errol Flynn page. Over the years we have even changed our equations in calculating our movie scores … these changes have greatly improved many of Flynn’s movies. You might find it interesting to see our new Flynn page. Bruce Cogerson

Bruce, thanks so much! Magnificent work!

In 1943 Errol Flynn was accused of statutory rape and made the front pages of not only the gossip columns but all news papers. He would be acquitted of all charges. His star status actually increased from the publicity. All 4 of his films in 1942-43 were highly successful earning over 2 million dollars per film. But, for the first time in his career his reputation became the bad boy of Hollywood and became the ‘butt of jokes’. Which was something new to him. Instead of resisting, he played along with the womanizing comments. During the filming ”NORTHERN PURSUIT”, he played a Canadian Mountie and ended the film by assuring his bride Julie Bishop that he has known many girls, but she is the only one he ever loved. Then, turning and confiding with the audience, he blurts out: ”What am I saying?” Everyone loved it.
