Full Cycle

Dear Flynnstones, Errol covered a lot of ground during his lifetime. Between these pics taken respectively in Brazil and Germany lay roughly a decade. They confirm that once learned, you never loose the ability to enjoy, — shangheinz

The Benny Flynn Show

Dear Flynnstones, here is our man Flynn with jet set reporter Benno Graziani, one of the of the all time great photographers. www.vogue.co.uk/article/benno-graziani-interview… His motto went a little like this: “Make em laugh, then shoot them“. And it applied very well to their encounter in Deauville. Enjoy,   — shangheinz

I go Sligo

Dear Flynnstones, in reference to Errol Flynn’s Relatives in Sligo, Ireland? « The Errol Flynn Blog , Ireland`s poet laureate, William Butler Yeats, immortalized a certain Flynn in his volume of essays “The Celtic Twilight”. “Many of the tales in this book were told me by one Paddy Flynn, a little bright-eyed old man, who lived in a leaky and one-roomed… (more…)

Tile Driver

Dear Flynnstones, some say love is in the air, but I say Flynn is all around. An Errolyte is never safe, ey? While watching the Scorsese classic Taxi Driver, you can witness how an “original tile of Errol Flynn‘s bathroom“ is peddled to DeNiro by his pals. This may have given an idea to some of our blog members here.… (more…)

A Furry Tale

Dear Flynnstones, when Errol renounced the role of Oberon, in Hollywood`s 1935 screen adaptation of “A Midsummer Night`s Dream”, not wanting to be known as “the king of the fairies”, he impacted many careers. Including his own. Instead of being Hamlet-bound, he, as we know, became the perennial pirate. Only a year later the movie world would see an aging… (more…)

From Benny not a Penny

[embedyt] www.youtube.com…… Dear Flynnstones, look what I refound amongst the material I have gathered over the years on Errol‘s half finished William Tell film- an appearance on the BBC Show “In Town tonight“ from November 1953. I remember a conversation with this blog‘s own Inga, when she posted a list of all Flynn radio outings. I said I thought that… (more…)

Death of a Cameraman

Dear Flynnstones, amongst the myriad of myths surrounding the sinister shooting of “The Lady from Shanghai“, one also concerns our Errol. No, not the one about his clandestine cameo. I think  we settled the score once and for all here: Lord from Shanghai- Errol after all? It is about Flynn turning Wolf Larsen and wanting to give a young dead… (more…)

Into Dodge

Dear Flynnstones, above you see Errol and his buddy Air Bud Ernst leaving for the grand premiere of Dodge City. The line up of this star studded extravaganza was impressive. It even featured a special event what looks like a (shotgun?) wedding. A pierced penny for who can spot the Duke in this picture. Enjoy, — shangheinz

Wanted: Errol Flynn

Dear Flynnstones, our man Flynn was a catch for Jack Warner in many ways. Enjoy,   — shangheinz

Meeting the Prez

Dear Flynnstones, this rare pic shows Errol meeting Ronald Reagan, who before becoming a B-movie star, started out as a radio commentator. We all know where he ended up. Both look like at a casting for “Casablanca“. Neither got the part, and so didn’t Hedy Lamarr. What a classic that could have been. They probably are promoting one of their… (more…)
