Welcome to The Lamarr

21 Oct

Dear Flynnstones,

Anthony Loder, the son of Hedy Lamarr, revealed during his recent stay in Vienna that in 2024 the new KaDeWe-department store will open here and bear Hedy‘s Hollywood stage name.

It will also host a café highlighting her career and a rooftop garden in her honor. The whole estate will be prominently on display on all levels of the building.

Enjoy,

The Hill Flynn Climbed

20 Oct

Dear Flynnstones,

there are recurring themes in staging Errol like for example him addressing his merry men from higher ground be it hill, ship bridge or else.

Any other ongoing things that come to mind?

What’s your favorite “Ah, here we go again“- moment in a Flynn film??

Enjoy,

From Aussie to Actor

14 Oct

 

Dear Flynnstones,

when the Australian photo model George Lazenby got the call up to follow Sean Connery as 007, he expressed an interesting take on acting in an early interview.

“What about your Australian accent- do you think there‘ll be any problems as far as international filmgoers are concerned?“

“No, I don‘t think so. I saw a film recently with Errol Flynn, and he still had traces of an Australian accent, and he was accepted. I think if you do what you feel and be natural, people accept you as a person. If you try and be an actor, which I am not trying to be, they may not accept me, because I am not an actor, if you know what I mean…“

Enquiring About the Perfect Speciman

10 Oct

 

Would anyone know how to watch this movie in good quality? I bought a dvd a while ago but was disappointed as it was very blurry and had the tcm logo. Who knows, maybe WB Archive will release it?

Let‘s Get Ready to Mocambo

Dear Flynnstones,

the Mocambo tops the list of nightclub brawls during the era of Errol.
But Flynn fisticuffs involved only an open hand, an egg and a no show by our Hollywood hero: jhgraham.com…

Enjoy,
