Dear fellow Flynn fans,
let`s just post here pics of Errolesque actors that wore the must have moustache at least for a while, trial & error.
Enjoy,

also appearing on the Perry Mason series, has a most unusual connection to Flynn. A quadruple threat in the arts: stage, screen, radio and (of course) television. Pondering the full import of his name, gives a strong indication as to not only a special location, but also its special contribution to a MOST SPECIAL film. Any one up for a SPECIAL challenge this evening?

Quoting the Bucks County Courier Post:
"Flynn in Focus on TCM"
"Fans of swashbuckling favorite Errol Flynn have the opportunity on Jan. 17 to binge watch seven of his favorite films.
The film-lover’s network Turner Classic Movies will begin airing the titles beginning at 6 a.m. that day.
According to TCM’s detailed Now Playing: A Viewer’s Gide to Turner Classic Movies, the titles will be:"
"Adventures of Don Juan”, with Viveca Lindfors in the breezy version of the legendary lover charged with saving his queen from treason. Vincent Sherman directed. (1948; 6 a.m.)
“Captain Blood”, with Olivia De Havilland in Flynn’s star-making role as a doctor-turned-pirate. Michael Curtiz directed. (1935; 8 a.m.)
“Kim“, with Dean Stockwell in an adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s tale of an orphaned boy and his adventures with the British Army. Victor Saville directed. (1950; 10 a.m.)
“Northern Pursuit”, with Julie Bishop in a thriller about a Mountie tracking a Nazi flyer through the Canadian wilderness. Raoul Walsh directed. (1943; noon)

Patricia Barry (Adie Walker)
Arthur Hiller (Director) below with Errol.

Sean In The News

I have what I call, my “Magic Box”, with it you can get any film, program, music, whatever one can ever imagine with a click of finger, including movies that are in the theaters now. (not sure if I should mention that?) – In any case out of the thousands of Apps I can pick from, I have one that I truly adore; all on documentaries, any flavor one can imagine. War docs., Classic Film docs. Bios, etc. are on the top of my list.
In search of a Vietnam doc I ran into one I had never seen before, It was a bad copy, yet I watched it as it was with Sean Flynn in Vietnam reporting live (I believe) to Chet Huntley in New York NBC. Although I watched the whole program, I thought I would check online in seeing if I could find a better copy, and I did, of course its on Youtube.
I am probably the last to see this as I am sure you all have, but just in case anyone else here has not, I thought I would post the link anyway.
It’s still tragic in knowing this fine young man was killed in the manner we think he was. If Errol had still been alive, I feel pretty confident he would have made a difference in getting his son back alive, or if all else his body, so Sean could have received a proper burial, and maybe have bene laid next to his dad.

In a Galaxy Far, Far Away
29
Dec
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy is gone.
How terribly, terribly sad. One of the last true greats from Hollywood’s Golden Age has died, only a day after her daughter, also a film legend.
Around the time of her playing Tammy, there was discussion of Debbie Reynolds costarring with Errol, following his own great success in The Sun Also Rises. This was all circa the time Liz ran off with the Louse, leaving the unsinkable Debbie with two Fisher toddlers, Todd and Carrie. Carrie, of course, achieved immortality of her own starring in Star Wars with spacebuckler Hans Solo, a character inspired by Errol himself. Except for Harrison, they are all now in a galaxy far, far away. Godspeed to all of them.
