Caesar’s Wife with Errol Flynn

14 Jun

Twice it was to be, Errol in Caesar’s Wife. Once with
Talulah Bankhead, in 1936. Once with Geraldine Fitzgerald, ca. 1943. Talulah was replaced by Kay Francis, leaving just Another Dawn. Then, in “43, Errol was said to have been replaced by Cary Grant, but Caesar’s Wife” was never made.

WOW! I’d never heard of this proposed film before. And with Olivia, too. So this isn’t “Another Dawn”? I read that “Another Dawn” was based on Maugham’s story “The Ambassador’s Wife”. Interesting, too, that the same paper mentions Hollywood’s desire to make Kipling’s “Kim” into a film.

South France is where Errol met Somerset. The author was a neighbour of Freddie McEvoy and his then heiress wife Bea Cartwright.

Dear Tex, Beatrice Cartwright resided on Cap d`Àntibe in “Casa Estella”, which she bought in 1932 from the stepson of Robert Louis Stevenson.
