The Errol Flynn Blog

And here’s how it appeared in “The Lady from Shanghai”:

(With Errol and the Zaca nearby at the time, I believe.)

A concern has been expressed regarding the legitimacy of whether Errol actually visited Hotel Los Flamingos, or not. As I was not actually there during his reported visits, I can not say definitively one way or the other. A great deal of anecdotal evidence – in history and tourist books, articles, and the like – does very strongly indicate that he was there, however, along with other members of the “Hollywood Gang”, including, most notably, John Wayne, Johnny Weismuller & Cary Grant. Dolores Del Rio is reported to have a connection to the hotel, as well. It appears “The Lady from Shanghai” may provide an additional evidence, as we all know Errol’s certain and significant connection to that film, and Orson Welles reported use of the hotel both for and in the movie.

As I hope to provide further information I find as a result of research involving Errol’s possible presence & activities in Mexico (and elsewhere), please keep in mind, I have absolutely no first hand knowledge regarding his actual presence and activities. With Errol especially, this 100% certitude is impossible. I do assure you, though, I very carefully research everything I post before posting. Even so, I very strongly encourage everyone to investigate whatever facts and evidence may be in question. And I will absolutely correct or modulate anything found to be in error or misleading. I want no one to be misinformed or misled in any way. Errol’s life needs no embellishment.

Here’s a fun travelogue video of Acapulco, much as Flynn would have seen it – from James A. FitzPatrick’s (“The Voice of the Globe”) TravelTalks:

Lovely Rita on the Zaca, believed to be nearby Acapulco. Errol nearby, too:
