EFB Mailbag! Hello, God! Restoration!

06 May

Received this from Robb Callahan at the Errol Flynn Estate in the mailbag:

Hi David, Hello God was not destroyed. The original film was found last year in the basement of the surrogate court in NYC.  The film is now being restored at the George Eastman House in NY.  The film was shot using silver nitrate film stock.  There were 7 canisters of film.  Two of the canisters were completely deteriorated. The other 5 are being restored. Unfortunately with the two missing canisters the film won’t be complete, but it would be good viewing what remains.

 

Best

Errol’s ‘lost’ films.

06 May

Errol in Murder At Monte Carlo

I have read that two of Errol earliest movies – I Adore You (1933) and Murder At Monte Carlo (1934) are considered as being ‘lost’ films.What a shame.It makes it even more remarkable that In The Wake Of The Bounty (1933) still exists.It would be wonderful if these films,or even some clips from them,turn up somewhere one day.I hope they do,as it has happened many times before with other old movies.

I have also read that Errol makes a cameo in a movie called Always Together (1947).I haven’t been able to get a copy of this movie myself,but just wondered if anyone else has seen it and if Errol is indeed in it at all? As I have read that he is,yet I have also read that his scene (or scenes) were edited out of the movie?

Then there is Hello God (1951) of which the original print is said to have been destroyed by Errol himself after an argument? Is this true and is this film ‘lost’ too?

The Story Of William Tell (1953) looks like (from the few clips available) it would have been a terrific movie also.Such a shame Errol didn’t get to finish it.

Errol’s Most Beautiful Dates & Girlfriends

05 May

As we (and most all of the first world!) know, one of the things Errol is most famous for is his astonishing list of gorgeous dates & girlfriends. Some of these stunning beauties remain legendary; some are almost entirely forgotton. How about we try to list as many as possible, with images from relevant timeframes when possible!

To start, may I introduce the magnificent Mary Ann Hyde:

Mara Maru

04 May

I just ordered this film and it will be the first time in many years that I have seen it. I think I have seen it all the way thru but now I will have it in my collection. Ruth Roman is very nice and I enjoyed her in The Far Country with James Stewart which I hope will be put on Blu Ray some time since it is a great film but does not hold up to LED screens. I never saw it on a CRT but I am sure it looks much better on those.null

Mystery Movie

04 May

I wonder what film Errol lost out on because of this injury. I found this photo on a site (address shown below)
I have no idea but this will be a good test for our resident Flynn experts.
