In Belfast, Olivia de Havilland spent a day with Errol Flynn’s parents. His father, a professor of biology at Queen’s University, still isn’t sold on Flynn’s acting career. He told Olivia he wishes that Errol would give up the cinema, return to Ireland, and take up a more serious profession.
Warners would be satisfied if he would even get off his yacht and return to Hollywood.
…
Making movies with Olivia was a very gracious thing.
…
And a very passionate thing.
…
Errol was right, and right on time, not to miss that train!

Uh, I don’t think that’s Flynn in the bottom photo. That looks like Patric Knowles, and that hat also doesn’t match Flynn’s.
Spot on barb, that is indeed Patric Knowles

Absolutely! I was wondering how many would (first, actually read all the way to the bottom of the post!) and then recognize this Hollywood hype/journalistic flim-flam!!
(Which, of course, allegorically begs the question: Did Errol, in fact, miss the ODL train. Ultimately, he did, of course.)
Congrats barb and R.H.!! Couldn’t get a curve ball by you guys!!
