Rare Errol Flynn Photos 1936
28
May
Here are a pair of seldom scene publicity photos of Flynn at the Warner Studios during the week of November 9, 1936. They are staged photos of Flynn reading … or maybe just looking at … two distinctly different documents. Both pictures are WB numbered with an EFPuBA68 and 69. The first publication, titled DIRALI, is an Armenian magazine, meaning “They said”. The second one is a newspaper from India in the Gujiarati language, one of the 28 states, similar to Hindu.
Perhaps he is looking for openings of Captain Blood, since it began showings in Europe in April and May.
Hmmm…?

Praise for Errol as Custer
10
Apr
Today I received the book Custer and the Little Big Horn by Jim Donovan. To my surprise I found Errol in it aswell. In one of the last chapters of the book Jim writes about the movies that were made about Custer and the famous battle that cost him (and his men) his life. Errol is praised for his role as George Armstrong Custer. And the scene that is mentioned in the book is one of my favorite parts of this movie. Here you can see what was written and the photos in the book.
