Chez Rudi

30 Mar

Dear Flynnstones,

anyone who further wants to follow Madame Claudia`s footsteps tracing Flynn in Majorca, here is the place to go.

A German article recounts Errol`s funny and uncanny days at  Bar Tirol in Via Apuntadores. It sums up their frequent encounters like squeezing the quintessential EF spirit into a shot glass : “He was nice, but he drank a lot.” “Er trank viel, aber er war sehr nett” (mallorcamagazin.com…)

Rotund Rudi, its stocky patron, seems to have been a very giving character. There is talk, that our Hollywood hero once was not able to walk out the door. Revolving doors? The old back injury again??

Let`s just say, for a true sailor there is no dry land.

Enjoy,

PS: The exact year when Es Moli was torn down is given as well as more information on the commemorative plaque.

The Deep Waters Secret

20 Mar

Dear Flynnstones,

this weekend finally saw the release of the latest film from Flashdance director Adrian Lyne “Deep Water“. It features the classical love triangle of a woman, a man and a secret. The story follows, if not entirely, the whodunnit novel from Patricia Highsmith starring stunning new Bond girl Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck, from Good Will Hunting and Flat Man renown.

In the late 1950s Flynn Enterprises announced a project called  “Deep Waters“ starring French actress Corinne Calvet and her Prince Charming husband Jeffrey Stone to be filmed by Flynntimo manager Barry Mahon in the South of France, Spain and Tangiers.

“The story is woven around the hidden treasure lost, when Freddie McEvoy’s yacht went down in a storm. Quite a yarn if truth were told.“ (Hedda Hopper)

The script to the never made movie was auctioned off online on the 15th December 2005.

The buyer is a keeper.

The secret if Errol‘s best man was murdered has been buried deep ever since.

Enjoy,

…then he took Berlin.

12 Feb

Dear Flynnstones,

here are the Good, the Bad and the Lovely.

When Errol was trailblazing the Berlinale in 1957, even Goldfinger couldn‘t help but smile at cheeky Flynn getting kissed by a young Romy Schneider.

Enjoy,
