Errol at The Rio Thee-AY-ter
The way it used to be, not too far from Oshkosh, in Appleton, Wisconsin – the childhood home of Harry Houdini, William Dafoe, Tony Kubek & Greta Van Sustren! Holy Cow, before he played shortstop for the Yankees, Tony was the right age to have seen The Great Flynn in this very thee-AY-ter, perhaps this very show! (If not, he should be scored an error.)
From today’s Appleton Post Crescent:

Ahoy, the EFB! A new category has been suggested for posts that are thinly related to Errol Flynn. Inga will create the category, and if you have something to post that is not directly about Flynn there will be a place for it. This will give us a chance to talk about Flynn related subjects in one place where no category already exists.

Gable and Flynn

Many years ago a guy on the Yahoo Groups site was looking for a group photo of MGM actors that had Flynn and Gable together. I don’t know why he was so interested but he felt it was very important or rare? I found this cropped photo and I am posting it. Its not the greatest since the original is most likely a large group photo.

Against All Flags Art

Reynold Brown did the poster art and I found a site that has many posters on it. Some images are very good quality like the one here but the finished poster only came out in part either by mistake or on purpose. It is good enough that one could make their own and try to sell it. I like to collect images for myself so that one day I might make a poster for my wall but not to sell.

Roots Of Brevity

I received and watched my copy of The Roots Of Heaven on Blu Ray and enjoyed it. They did a pretty good job on the transfer and its nice to see Flynn in widescreen. However if you put his scenes back to back I am not sure it would be 15 minutes long. It should have been much more especially the scene where he talks about his problems during WWII and what happened to his men in that they stayed silent but he talked to save himself. It goes by so quickly you may miss the point if you didn’t already know about it from reading reviews like I have. It explains why he is such a mess and I wonder if it was like that because of Flynn’s condition of not being able to memorize he lines better? What a bummer. I know they had trouble from the heat but you would never know it from watching the film. They never once mention it and they don’t show anyone drinking water like they are suffering at all. They are not sweating that bad either unless they had 100 wardrobe changes during the takes. Juliette Greco is very sexy I must say. My favorite scenes with him are when they start getting down to business towards the end of the film when he acts more normal and not a drunken fool talking about his jumping bean. I wonder if they will put Istanbul on Blu Ray? That is another Cinemascope film.
