ANOTHER FLYNN & SON DOUBLE FEATURE (OR IN PRAISE OF “THE BIG BOODLE” with a nod to “Mission to Venice”)

THE BIG BOODLE THE BIG BOODLE #2   MISSION TO VENICE #2MISSION TO VENICEMISSION TO VENICE poster

 

Dad in 1956’s Cuba and son in 1963’s Venice. Both with icy blondes and winning the good fight.

Both films made on location.

Errol ends a counterfeiting scam and Sean helps thwart the plans of some spies! Both win the girl! (Rosanna Rory for Errol and Karin Baal for Sean.)

“The Big Boodle” is one of Errol’s later films, but his presence and charisma are undeniable! (Released in the USA in the early part of 1957.)

Sean is good in the action scenes and the film is a good document of its time. (Sean is dubbed in this one , but the dubbing on this film is good. It was sold directly to television syndication in the USA; released theatrically in Europe in 1964, a French, Italian,West German co-production.)

Both films are available on DVD, although Sean’s film can be seen on YouTube.–A. R.
