His looks are as if playing Shakespeare!
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, straining upon the start.
The game's afoot: follow your spirit; and, upon this charge cry
'God for Harry! England and Saint George!'

Tina! This is a rare find! Well done!
Hi David;
I found the picture in a book “Errol Flynn by George Morris”. The picture portrays such a rare face expression, which I find very unique. I find the camera at that very moment must have penetrated to his soul as it expresses beautiful thoughts!
I've always been fascinated by stills from The Prince and the Pauper. Flynn still possessed that youthful exhilaration and a devil may care gleam in his eye that bespoke of a world weary wistfulness we would see later. There is a timeless feel to this film, and today’s filmmakers can’t replicate such an elusive quality. Truly a classic by any definition.
Let's not overlook Brad Pitt.
Robert, sorry but he is not in the league! He is O.K.that's all! He does nothing for my emotions! He could stand right in front of me – I would say nice looking man, but beyond that – nothing. Where is the charisma, the spell, the disarming smile, the instant rapport and most of all where is the savoir faire, the sophistication – not there!
I have more attraction to you, not even knowing you, but your music says such a lot about you – you have alright!
Er….I was only joking!
Hi Robert;
Nice joke that is! Ha – ha
Right now he has a beard and looks like an Austrian mountain goat!
Ha – Ha – Ha
Hi Shamrock;
How wonderfully you express yourself! I always say his movies are as fresh as daisy, they could have been made today!
You have such a way with words. World weary wistfulness . . . I like his scenes with the pauper. He plays patience very well.
Hi Kathleen;
Thank you – you are very kind! By the way “The Prince and the Pauper” is on tonight at TCM at 10.15pm EST
Take care,
Tina
Almost Shakespeare: Mark Twain, “The Prince And The Pauper”
Hi Robert;
You are always right, but to me the picture is so unique in his expression so very rare. When I saw it, it somehow reminded me of Shakespeare and his excerpt performance of Henry V in “Too much too soon”, which was exceptional and that why I quoted the last few lines of it.
You are so right, his expression is priceless.
Hi Elayna;
Yes, his expression is priceless, very unique! One of its kind!
Tina, why do his eyes look so light–almost blue?
Studio lights
Hi Kathleen;
As you and I agree, Robert is always right. so it must be the lights.
Errol had light brown eyes, a vibrant brown, tan like with golden sort of spots in it very unusual eyes just like his ears. His eyes sometimes changed color, I think depending on his moods. Sometimes they were greenish – unusual as he was!
Hmmm, photography!! I have this book also and enjoyed it. I have P&P on DVD. Tina, when you are up in the clouds what will happen to all of your EF stuff? My kids are NOT interested in what I have collected so far!
Hi Kathleen;
I just finished watching “The Prince and the Pauper” on TCM.
And as always “Robert The Great” is right – the picture is out of “The Prince and the Pauper”
In addition, you put out an excellent question a very good thought, what will we do with our stuff? Open a museum? Who would have an interest? Good question to ask the members of this Blog? I should put the answer in my will! Maybe we should have a “Hand me Down” to the youngest member of this Blog? Maybe something to seriously think about?!?
Let's get some feedback!
Calling all members of this Blog for ideas!!!
Or down on that hot rock?
Rob – Eitherdown? Very cozy!
Hi Kathleen;
Just come to think of it – about Errol's eyes! His eyes used to glisten and sparkle! When he was mad or aroused they gleamed and with a very special (one of a kind) shimmer and the color turned then to green! You know, he actually only spoke with his eyes than with words! That what made him so disarming! Yeah – that was it!
How am I doing?
This is veering dangerously into a teen idol blog!
I noticed in A of RH there was a glint in his eye just as he walks up to Lady Marian in the balcony scene.
Yes, I know, the light just catching his eye at that very time. ;) (we gals like to notice these things!)
50+ aged teens. Hahahahahahah
Hi Robert;
I just celebrated a milestone birthday – I turned sweet 16 and I think he said “I like my Whisky young ….” – right?
