Christoper Lee almost lost his. But he liked Flynn and did admit it was after lunch.

Years later, a rematch was filmed for Flynn’s TV show …

‘While filming a sword fight with Errol Flynn for The Dark Avenger, Flynn almost cut off Lee’s little finger, forever scarring and misshaping it. Flynn was supposed to duck while Lee took a swing at him. The swing would go over his head, while lopping the tops off the candles on a candelabra standing behind Flynn. Lee managed the extremely difficult manoeuvre, successfully chopping the candles down. Unfortunately, he also took Flynn’s wig off his head.’

I can’t help but think that if Errol had been more thorough, life would have been much easier for Gandalf the Grey. ;-)

Yes, Tim, I’m actually leaving two days from now! On my list: Seattle, a cruise to Alaska and back, and a one-week road trip through Washington State (including the Northwest Carriage Museum – for Flynn reasons, of course).

In case your lookin for a Flynn-like Inn outside Seattle, Robin Hood Village might suit your fancy, Milady.

“The Story Of Robin Hood Village Began With The Dream Of An Artist Named Don Beckman. Don Happened To Have Designed The Hollywood Set For The Original Movie Adventures Of Robin Hood With Errol Flynn.”

Thank you, Tim! That does sound like something that might tickle my fancy. :)

On a side note, Lufthansa had “The Adventures of Robin Hood” on the menu on the flight here. What a pleasant surprise!
