A fight between Errol Flynn and Alan Hale in The Prince and the Pauper is covered in the script by one line: “He runs him through with his sword.” Counting long shots, close ups and medium shots, the duel took three days to film. At the conclusion, Hale, who has been ill, fainted and Flynn could scarcely lift his arm.

Errol Flynn will do Robin Hood for Warners before he begins The Charge of the Light Brigade, which should be good news for the public. Overnight, after his one picture, Captain Blood, he’s become a worldwide sensation.

“The film’s premiere took place in Los Angeles at the Carthay Circle Theatre on 29 Jan 1937, followed by a New York premiere at the Astor Theatre on 2 Feb. News items reported extensive preparations for both premieres, especially in Los Angeles where art director associate Harry Oliver supervised the decoration of San Vicente Blvd. (the street on which the Carthay Circle Theatre was located) in a Chinese style. A fifty-foot replica of the novel was also constructed on a corner of the intersection of Wilshire and San Vicente Blvd. near the theater. Prominent writers P. G. Wodehouse, Rupert Hughes and Jim Tully were present at the premiere to write impromptu reviews and immediately send them across the nation via wire service. The premiere was broadcast over radio via the Mutual System and, according to a 29 Jan 1937 HR news item, was the first premiere to be covered on a national network.”
So it might have been broadcast nationwide that Lili attended with Cabot?
