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.

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…

Dear Flynnstones,
the pic above is not a still from GOLDFINGER, but an image of dancer-actress Julie Newmar getting ready from the movie SERPENT OF THE NILE.
It stars amongst others Flynntimo William Lundigan and Rhonda Fleming. The Queen of Technicolor encountered Errol some year before on September 30, 1951 when she sang at NBC´s Colgate Comedy Hour, where our Hollywood hero made an appearance. Apparently they all met again at the set of Hollywood at Nile. The bare-chested man with mustache and crew cut (KIM!?) looking on in the shadow is supposed to be Flynn. Is or isn`t he? What in your opinion is the margin for error (Errorrol « The Errol Flynn Blog) here? Do we maybe have a new case of an unannounced, unallowed and undetected cameo by Flynn like in the The Lady from Shanghai (The Lord from Shanghai- Errol after all? « The Errol Flynn Blog)??
Anyways, Julie, who later became famous as Cat Woman in the colorful Batman TV series, is full of praise for Errol Flynn`s dancing skills. “(It`s) Something he`s never been given credit for. This person is not a dancer. But he was a natural…I have never seen such a natural dancer, singer. He is only known as an actor, his timing was out of this world, his instincts were better than dancer-dancers.”
THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS for sure showed that there was gold in them legs of the known legs` man.
Too wrong No, thanks for everyflynn, Julie Newmar.
Enjoy,
