Errol Flynn vs Fidler Fracas and the Follow-Up! 1941
25
Jul
On September 20th, 1941, Errol Flynn and columnist Jimmie Fidler got into a scuffle at the Mocambo night spot. The incident made some small headlines the next day along with a lot of gossip and speculation. Perhaps one of the best coverages of the story appeared on this page of the Movie-Radio Guide of the 27th.
There were more events following the dustup.

Top’s Trivia! Errol Flynn Cameos!
20
Jul
There has always been great speculation about Flynn’s three supposed cameos: 1944 ,he was “seen” as a walk-on in Lady From Shanghai.
In 1946, he, and Alexis Smith, “did a cameo” in the film Always Together,and in 1951, while in France, he was “in the crowd” in Pardon My French.
These three un-credited examples will continue to baffle Flynn fans.
But…without a cameo appearance … Flynn has been referred to directly in another
picture. I present a single screengrab from the 1952, Crosby and Hope comedy, Road to Bali. To appreciate the reference, may I suggest, finding the film (was on YouTube) and watching
it from 17:05 minutes into the film to approximately 17:55 minutes. It all makes silly sense.

Mail Bag! Errol Flynn’s Hobart with Russ Schnioffsky! Part 7!
20
Jul
The Mail Bag brings more of Russ Schnioffsky’s wonder trip to Errol Flynn’s Hobart, Tasmania! It is our Part 7!
Russ writes:
The Friends’ School, Commercial Rd, North Hobart.
Foundered in 1887, The Friends’ School is one of the largest Quaker schools in the world. Errol was enrolled in 1920 and had to demonstrate his boxing skills in various fights, probably with some fellow boarders (see photo below). He was allegedly expelled (or asked to leave the school) for climbing into the girls dormitory after dark. As a boarder he would occasionally sleep on the upstairs rear veranda which would have been a mighty cold location for a Hobart wintry night.
