Warner Archive Releases Three Rare Flynn Titles!

02 Jul

Warner Archive is releasing three more Errol Flynn titles from their collection.

‘Another Dawn’ (1937) with Flynn wasted in the entire film holding Kay Francis’ endless coats and furs.

‘Escape Me Never’ (1947) Flynn is out of character playing a total cad in this period film.

‘The Warriors’ (1955)  Errol Flynn’s last movie swashbuckler.  The DVD is in widescreen.   When Flynn fans finally see a good copy of this film they may re-evaluate their opinions upward.  Peter Finch, Joanne Dru, and Christopher Lee also appear.

“Another Dawn” is not a great film. But it is a tremendous example of the power of Flynn’s screen presence. I read one review that described him as “dripping with glamour”. This is Errol Flynn at his peak as a movie star with no end in sight, photographed by the great Tony Gaudio, who also photographed Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis and, eventually, Flynn’s “The Adventures of Robin Hood”.
As for “The Warriors”, I once read a quote from co-star Peter Finch regarding Flynn. He said Flynn told him, “Stop acting. Look at me, I don’t act and I’m a star.” It was Flynn’s sincerity on screen that made us believe him, while the renowned “actors” of the day, like Lionel Barrymore for example,(apologies, Barrymore fans) become more exposed as artificial and mannered as time goes on.[img]http://37.media.tumblr.com/122d4e1cdf509c82b30f3aa7b35a9270/tumblr_n03bk2DOBN1snx77eo1_1280.jpg[/img]

Dear Rushstreet Ralph,

these are good news. I hope Warner bothers to add good bonus material. Especially on the Dark Avenger DVD, since it might shed more light on Errol`s twilight years. Greets from Vi- Town.
