Errol in a Peril
P.S. The top N3N pilot in the world told me that the crop duster in North by Northwest is a post war converted Yellow Peril. Luckily, though he’s dramatically terrorized on Highway 41, almost permanently dusted in the cornfield, run over by a truck, and nearly exploded, Cary’s hair survives as if he just walked out a Rodeo Drive Hair Salon:

Dear fellow Flynn fans,
early on Errol and Gary Cooper were the go- to- guys for any given heartthrob history film in the traumfabrik. Proposed roles went back and forth. Marco Polo was one those announced future Fynn flicks.
I can easily picture our Hollywood hero galopping down Silk Street, ahm Road all the way to Kublai Khan’s court bringing back to the Western hemisphere spaghetti and paper money.
See for yourselves this magical travelogue movie here: www.youtube.com…
In 1953 both cavs bought the same Mercedes model in Germany within a few months’ time and then would have the same famous diva as co- pilot. Dolce Vita Anita would purchase a Benz Coupe’ later herself and have Freddie McEvoy playboy friend Gianni Agnelli riding shotgun.
While Coop regrouped with High Noon in the Fifties, Flynn declined first before finishing strong with “The sun also rises” and “Roots of heaven”. An invisible bond linked them in death as in life, since these two fine leading men died within a short period of time.
Enjoy,

Ahoy All Good Flynnmates
Yesterday morning I had the zensational pleasure of swilling my first cup of “Zaca Tea”. Sent to me by a good friend and preeminent Flynnian scholar, I zealously recommend to all this elegant, inspiring and energizing blend of “super-teas”.
Here’s my very first Zaca, sailing over the Florida Intracoastal. Flynn himself cruised these very waters on various voyages through South Florida. One of his favorite places to hide from Lili & JW was in an oceanfront front home,two miles ahead (south) of this location, across from the Cloisters of Boca Raton.

Dear fellow Flynn fans,
it is well documented, because Marvel-ous Stan Lee never made no fuss about it, that Errol Flynn was his childhood hero. The pic above shows that our Hollywood hero also was his inspiration for another of his comic book heroes. Add Asiatic facial features, Klingon ears as well as wings on heels to it and voilà “Namor” appears. That name has the same number of letters as Errol plus contains or should we say implicates some portion of “Amor”. A little bit of Amor is in every man, but since…
By the way, a further reference to Flynn, but no relation to its main character can be found in this year`s Marvel movie “Ant Man”.
Enjoy,
