Dear Flynnstones,
who agrees with me that this picture captures the chemistry of Errolivia to an almost feelable degree?

The Earl of Erroll
13
Apr
Dear Flynnstones,
the 1987 movie “White Mischief” based on a true crime story from Kenya in 1940 bears more than one reference to our Hollywood hero.
Not only would Flynn have been perfect for the lead of Josslyn Victor Hay, the 22nd Earl of Erroll, who in the film was portraited by actor Charles Dance, but the antics of the Happy Valley aristocrates can both be seen as mirroring Hollywood royality as well as mimmicking Errol in Northampton.
Flynnmate Trevor Howard picks up (mostly bottles and guns), where he left off in “Roots of Heaven” in one of his last roles-his excessive drinking almost got him fired.
Gorgeous Greta Scacchi, scarcly clad due to the fine weather, in type resembles Pat Wymore.
But it is a real life angle tying the unsolved murder mystery to our Man Flynn.
Matter of fact, in the book of the same title from James Fox, Freddie McEvoy is described as a person of interest in an investigation of the police in South France.
A pearl collier, which plays a special, if not the key role in the whole affair had been stolen from a car.
The heist appears as some sort of a steal and lease back scheme with Suicide Freddie in the midst of things.
In my book this is what really cost Joss his life later on…maybe even Freddie`s.
McEvoy and Errol had planned to take a safari trip together in that area, but the big game hunt was cancelled, because the shooting of “The Adventures of Don Juan” hadn`t finished in time.
“Hail to the Mischief!”,

One More Chance to Own Errol Flynn Cufflinks!

Errol Flynn Cufflinks!
Offering for sale from my extensive Hollywood memorabilia collection, a set of unique, precious, outstanding and quite unusual 14 karat gold cufflinks, personally owned and worn by one of the most outrageous, highly talented and famous Hollywood screen legends in the history of film making. Therefore this incredible A-list actor needs no further introduction. Insiders know exactly the importance of this item which is now on offer. This is certainly a great opportunity to acquire this stupendous early vintage item!
As one can clearly see from the photos, apart from the extremely handsome design, the most remarkable feature is the beautifully scrolled monogram ‘E F’, in the same style as found on other of his personal items. Without a doubt, this set of custom made cufflinks is extremely rare and belongs in a league of its own. It should be a MUST for the serious collector of Hollywood memorabilia and a valuable addition to any collection. Or even as a special gift for a very special person. Certainly these EF cufflinks will be the topic at any occasion!
The cufflinks are “block style” with the front being concave and with a kind of “frosted” etched surface, which makes the monogram really stand out, and makes a good contrast with the other shiny surfaces.
The blocks measure 1.4 cm ( 7/12″). The overall length of the cufflinks is 2,3 cm ( 11/12″) in closed position and 3 cm (1 1/4″) in open position. Each block and stem is hallmarked 14 K.
The condition is excellent for their age, with only the usual slight surface scratches, which look on the close-up pictures more pronounced than they really are. Both lever mechanisms work perfectly
Provenance
The set naturally comes with its accompanying Certificate of Authenticity stating: “This Certificate guarantees the Authenticity of the item described as genuine in its contents and origin. Errol Flynn. A vintage pair of fourteen karat gold heavy block style cufflinks. Monogrammed.”
As a personal remark regarding this Hollywood memorabilia item which probably is one of few these days belonging in an extremely “hard-to-find” category that stands out on its own!
Many years ago I started to collect searching selectively for unusual items of well known artists, entertainers, actors and actresses who were famous in the days of Hollywood’s Golden Era, only dealing with bonafide and high profile specialists, companies, and agent-dealers. I sincerely hope that the fortunate buyer will find this particular celebrity item now on offer just as special and irresistible as I did after all these years carefully treasuring it.
You will notice, that for these remarkable gold cufflinks I do not provide the possibility to make an offer, because I think that the price I am asking, compared to some recent celebrity auctions, such as items from Tony Curtis, Debbie Reynolds, etc. is quite justified.
The cufflinks and CoA will be sent by Registered Mail / Signed for Delivery within 1 working day after receipt of cleared payment. Insurance is optional, please enquire for quote.
Please note, that the buyer is fully responsible for any possible import charges, duties, taxes, levies etc. charged in his/her country, because as a seller I have no knowledge of those facts.
Because of the calibre of this item, or any of the other memorabilia items coming up for sale soon, personal pick-up by the buyer is of course possible, near Málaga in the South of Spain.
I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Thank you for your interest.
I will also be releasing and selling other items soon of: Errol Flynn, Orson Welles, Spencer Tracy, Victor Mature, John Barrymore, etc.
Price: 5.650.00 Euros

Don’t Mansion it…

Mar
Dear Flynnstones,
socialite Countess Dorothy DiFrasso (here strolling with another millionaire heiress, a fox fur wearing Barbara Hutton) lent her Bel Air estate to Freddie McEvoy. Take a peak at the mansion, where Errol Flynn mingled with Betty Hansen and see the blue room, which caused much gloom.
Enjoy,

A passing worth noting…

Mel Brooks:
“It’s a sad day when Norman Steinberg leaves us. From BLAZING SADDLES to MY FAVORITE YEAR, he was one of the best writers I ever worked with. I’m so glad I rescued him from a dull stable legal career, because he always permeated the writers room with his infectious comic spirit.”
Here’s a little more of the story behind one of of my favorites:

Mail Bag! Autographed Errol Flynn Photo!
20
Mar
We got an interesting email from Gary who has an autographed photo of Errol Flynn from DIVE BOMBER he acquired years ago. He writes:
Hello,
Please forgive this unsolicited email, but I am looking to sell a signed Errol pic I have had since the early 1990’s.
I’d rather it go to a fan-& not a dealer (if you know what I mean ?). It was purchased from Fraser’s Autographs in the UK, and was prominent in their catalogue of that year.
Signed 8×10 b&w studio portrait in US Naval uniform for the film Divebomber.
If you could let your avid Flynn fans know it’s available to purchase I’d appreciate it-I’m open to offers around $1,000.
Thanks David.
Regards,
Gary
Contact Gary for more info:
$1500 – reasonable offers considered.

Thanks, Gary …
