Rhett Blood
16
Oct
Dear Flynnstones,
whenever I see these two cinematic giants engage in conversation, I imagine Captain Blood pitching his idea to Rhett Butler of doing a movie together. As Errol stated he had planned a film, correct me if I am wrong, called “Two Brothers“. To which that formidable Gable guy replied: “Nah, you‘re making me look too old.“
Another of Flynn‘s projects, that didn’t see the projection light, was his „Three Amigos“-script, very probably depicting the antics of him alongside Freddie McEvoy and Teddy Stauffer, south of the Mexican Border. Some highlights were filed by the FBI, some glints revealed by the respective biographies of Stauffer and Linda Christian. All of them would have made for tantalizing titillating Tinseltown talk.
Enjoy,

In loving Memory
14
Oct
Today marks the sad 65th anniversary of Errol’s passing. Anniversary might not be the right word, but today I will be thinking of him. Our Robin Hood, Don Juan. A toast to Errol in heaven, who looks down on us with a smile. He is gone, but certainly not forgotten. Bung ho old boy, here’s to the one and only Errol Flynn.

Sean’s Paris apartment
03
Oct
Last weekend I made a short trip to Paris. A very short trip, but I had time to see Sean’s apartment on the Champs Elysees. I made a quick picture of the building. Not very clear, sorry for that. But the announcement on the door tells us that there are works going on in the building. I would love to explore this building, but there is no way strangers can get into the building. On a next visit to Paris I try to make some time to take pictures of the surrounding streets and the views from the front of the building. If someone is looking for the building, the Longchamps store is next door and the George V metro station very close.

A lotta Bette
28
Sep
Dear Flynnmates,
a nice lot of Errol and Bette came under the hammer lately. Did anybody here have the good fortune to come up with the winning bid?
I dunno about you, but this pic gives me an inkeling of an idea that the tandem of those temperamentous two could actually have worked well in “Gone with the Wind“. Very differently to Gable and Leigh, but still…
Davis‘ diva antics are immortalized marvellously by a striking Susan Sarandon opposite an equally convincing Jessica Lange playing Joan Crawford in the first season of FEUD. Flynn‘s in in spirit only.
