Some of you fans may have seen this image before and it may be some where on this site but check it out.  Great to see this kind of thing from back then. — twinarchers

Wonderful Documentary on our Tasmanian Devil.

I see Mr. Marino has his own link to this on Youtube but it has been there for some time from someone else too.  It has many still’s and film footage not seen anywhere else and it also is a second try for Christopher Lee to be in a higher budget film with good looking footage.  His first documentary on… (more…)

From the Errol Flynn Mailbag!

Received this nice note in our Mailbag: I found the image posted on Facebook by a Palm Springs tourist site. Since I am a silent historian and living in Palm Springs, anything from Charlie Farrell’s Racquet Club always peeks my interest. It took only a few minutes to find out the name of the person on the right. As you… (more…)

The Fleens in Florida, on the Sirocci

Continuing the Flynn in Florida Tour: Commencing in the late Thirties, Errol began to visit Miami. Here’s an account of what I believe was his first visit with Lili, in 1938, not too long after purchasing the “Sirocci” in Boston: news.google.com…… Because of Westinghouse, this visit to Miami may prove, in a thousand years, to be Errol’s most well known… (more…)

Sean at Sebring

I had the great fortune to drive through Sebring, Florida yesterday, during what I believe may be their renowned racetrack’s biggest weekend of the year. Recalling that Sean reportedly loved watching the races at Sebring, I decided to pay a visit to see what I could see – or, rather, hear I could hear. Only about an hour from Sean’s… (more…)

Drive Boy Drive By – Sadahichi Hartmann

I would like to begin a series of “drive by” looks at the Bundy Drive Boys”. Having just been in St. Petersburg (Florida, not Russia), I thought I should begin with the legendary but today rarely known, Sadahichi Hartmann, “King of the Bohemians”, resting eternally and seemingly inconguously in “The Sunshine City”. Here’s the Royal Palm Cemetery, an Old South… (more…)

Errol Flynn Mailbag …

We received an email from “Katharine Lazarski” containing only a link and her name under it. Without thinking, I clicked the link, and an “Update” was downloaded onto my computer instantly. My virus software immediately quarantined the update as a virus. I then deleted it. Somewhere along the line Katharine or someone else with our email address has downloaded this… (more…)

SEAN FLYNN’S “DUEL AT THE RIO GRANDE”(“IL SEGNO DI ZORRO”) 50TH ANNIVERSARY

Back in 1961 when Sean Leslie Flynn embarked on his cinematic career, he joked that after he did “The Son of Captain Blood” he would do the “son of Zorro”. Not quite, but the producer of “TSOCB”, Harry Joe Brown  did sign Sean up to do “Il Segno di Zorro” (translation: “The Sign of Zorro”). In this film (which had… (more…)
