Dear Flynnstones,
this image is Errol Flynn in a nutshell. Heading in the opposite direction of a sheltered area towards fun, females and flynnanigans.
Enjoy,

Hey Hey Nora…
16
Sep
Dear Flynnstones,
the next line in an old song goes like this: … I want to marry you…
This picture may be the earliest testimonial, maybe at a sort of coming out party, of Errol and his future wife, Nora Eddington.
If I am not mistaken, it dates right after Flynn‘s acquittal at „the trial“.
It can even be taken in the immediate aftermath, since our Hollywood hero wears a pinstripe suit and the exact tie as at the verdict’s proclamation.
You see him talking to the press, obviously relieved and back to his daredevilish attitude again.
Enjoy,
PS: Miss Blanca Rosa Welter meanwhile probably had an appointment at the dentist.

A Wider Shade of Hale

Sep
Dear Flynnstones,
as this picture shows, Rufus Edward Mackahan could have held his own as Robin Hood. Billed Alan Hale, he instead got to play Little John in film on three occasions and for the respective generations. A whale of hails to Errol’s most trusted side-, back- and frontkick.
Enjoy.

White Hunter Black Sock

Aug
Dear Flynnstones,
here is Errol taking a breather during the shooting of THE ROOTS OF HEAVEN and an elephant. He used to wear his loafers in the nude in Hollywood, but on the black continent he took on the white man‘s burden of donning socks (probably from Warner Bros. stock). Acting totally in character while making a sock and sandal film.

You Can‘t Curry Love

Aug
Dear Flynnstones,
when Errol chose to make Rudyard Kipling’s KIM in India instead of KING SOLOMON‘S MINES in Africa, it was a heart over head decision.
In consequence of this costly career move, Flynn sipped his spicey tea in true British fashion- with a stiff upper lip. Empire losing England in turn gained a star in the bargain: www.theerrolflynnblog.com…
