Happy Hundred

Dear Flynnstone,

today Melvin Kaminsky lives to see a 100 years. Humour obviously helps. As a young lad he was in with Flynn, mostly over his head: danrodricks.com…

Congrats,

Straight Outta Hobart

02 Mar

Dear Flynnstone,

one can never feel too save from the Ol’ swashbuckler’s spirit.

While watching “The Narrow Road to the Deep North“, a moving mini series filmed in Sydney after the namesake novel from Richard Flanagan, Errol is summoned by two fellow Aussies.

Simon Baker, best known as The Mentalist and who completed the Down Under- triad in James Ellroy’s “ L.A Confidential“ (www.theerrolflynnblog.com…) is comparing the protagonist Jacob Elordi in a scene to Flynn.

Elordi who starred as Elvis in „Priscilla“, as the monster in Frankenstein and as monsterous Heathcliff in “Wuthering Hights“ alongside Australian beauty Margot Robbie, is widely considered as the next big matinee idol. He even is in the mix to become the new 007. Then again, which young leading lad isn‘t…

If he does, maybe Errol Flynn paved the way transcending time, space and lifelines.

Enjoy,

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)
