EF TV 4

15 May

Dear fellow Flynn fans,

here is the Christmas week edition of THE STEVE ALLEN SHOW from 1957 with a sketch on American TV shows of that era. They called the spoof of spoofs “To tell a lie”. Oddly enough our Hollywood hero for once is the most sober of all the methadone actor participants. Don Knotts, Louis Nye, Tom Poston, Don Adams and Martha Raye pose as preposterous imposters. Lovely Rita Gam is in the mix too. She may have known Errol already from the wedding of her former roommate Grace Kelly with Prince Ranier III. the year before, where she was a bridesmaid. Now that would only have been possible if Flynn ever made it to Monaco. But this marital mistery merits a blog by itself. The search is on again. By now we are used to looking all over for him, aren`t we? (See: www.theerrolflynnblog.com…)
In this television series however he appears threefold, as “Erroly Trinity” so to speak.

Enjoy,

Ghostship Zaca IV

Dear fellow Flynn fans,

Whenever Errol was Catalina dreaming he naturally went there with his Zaca.
And just when I thought I was in clear waters, the swashbuckler`s schooner turned out to be the “Shearwater”.
Here though is the real deal on reel: www.budgetfilms.com…

Zacahoy,

I saw a “live” Metropolits Opera of Roberto Devereaux in a Cinemax theater recently (Donizetti’s tragic opera, not the actual English Earl.) Fascinating, for me mostly to see how the opera differed from Elizabeth and Essex. Viewing it really confirms how uniquely great Errol was. Essex in this production pales in comparison to Flynn. (Perhaps a slap from Bette D. would have put some more zest in his performance.
