I was thrilled to come across your wonderful blog in the course of some online research. I thought you might like to know that here in Northampton we are honouring the Royal Theatre’s most notorious alumnus by naming a new cinema after him, due to open next month.

I’ve attached the most recent press release on the cinema for your information, and an earlier one that explains why we chose the name. We’re a long way from Snohomish but do look us up if you’re ever in town!

Best wishes

Rowland

My goal is to show how spectacular a guy her Errol Flynn was – as a man, an adventurer, an athlete, and actor, and a father!  He really did bring great color to this world, and he should be forever remembered wonderfully for that!

My dear fellow Flynn fans,

 

I came acoss some very interesting, little known facts  in Italian newspapers while researching fo my William Tell- book project.

 

Did you kow that…

…Errol wanted his son Sean to play the part of Tell`s son Jimmy?

…Jack Cardiff endorsed his choice?

…but casting director Michele Washiwsky opted for Fellini disciple Guido Martufi?

…that the final battle scenes on horseback (full not empty horses!) were filmed first?

…that a helicopter was sceduled to film these?

…an avalanche was to be set off Mount Blanc for the dramatic film ending?

…Errol`s skyblue car, a Frazer Nash, was guided by a chauffeur named Erich?

…that it was called “la freccia azzura di Guglielmo Tell” (skyblue arrow of William Tell) by local town people of Courmayeur?

…it was seized first by local authorities for unpaid hotel bills, mostly long distance telefon calls?

…that Errol planed to star in Jules Verne`s “Michel Strogoff” in one of his next movies?

 

If so, bravo! If not, so didn`t I.

All the best,
