Forsyte is better than

12 Nov

Dear Flynnstone,

in hindsight they had a lot of fun during filming.

“When Greer Garson flung her wardrobe open to change into a dress to accompany Soames to the art gallery, Errol Flynn jumped out of the wardrobe which caused her to scream and faint on.

Despite the infamous practical joke with the wardrobe, G. G. recalled that she and E. F. got along very well while making this film. During initial rehearsals, they discovered they had a lot in common. Flynn had started his career at the Northampton Repertory Theater, while Garson had started hers at the nearby Birmingham Repertory Theater. If Flynn muffed a line, Garson would quip, “Ha! One up for Birmingham, one down for Northampton!” If Garson muffed a line, Flynn would respond, “Ha! One up for Northampton, one down for Birmingham!” Also, when Garson had tea served on the set every day at 4 o’clock, Flynn would join her with his customary bottle of gin, but Garson insisted that he drink his gin out of a teacup.“ (IMDb)

Enjoy,
