Mailbag! New Errol Flynn Movie in the Works!

13 Dec

We just received this note from the Errol Flynn Estate about a forthcoming new film featuring Errol in his prime years.

Hi David, the Errol Flynn Estate has entered into a deal this past June with a Major Production company to produce a film about Errol’s best years 1935-1939.  We can’t give too much info because we are waiting for the script to be finnished before we go to the press. But I think it would be ok to let your readers know that Jack Huston is the front runner for the role as Errol.

Regards, Robb Callahan

The EFB Mailbag! The Errol Flynn Theatre!

Andrew Abrahams writes to us:
Hi!

I wonder whether I can draw your attention to a sale of autographs to be held at Fraser’s Autographs, the leading autograph and memorabilia in the UK, on December 12th, commencing at 5pm London time.

Lot 61 (shown on page 9 of the catalogue) is a collection of 28 10”x8” stills, portraits and crew photographs from the classic 1950s TV series, “The Errol Flynn Theatre”, which was filmed at Bray Studios in England (the home of Hammer Horror).

The collection includes a signed and inscribed photograph (an illustration shown in the catalogue), which I believe shows Errol Flynn with his co-star in that particular episodes, his former wife Patrice Wymore Flynn. Another still shows his son, Sean Flynn, who appeared in another episode.

I would be grateful if you would make this information available to anyone you know who may have an interest in this rare package.

Many thanks,

Andrew Abrahams
