A letter to Errol
14
Oct
Dear Errol,
66 years ago you left this earth to roam around the 7 seas forever. A lot has happened since then. One thing didn’t change. There are still people in the world who discover your movies and love them. It happened to me over 5 years ago. I am watching your movies ever since. You are still remembered by a lot of people. Some remember the bad things, but most remember the good things. You are still a hero to many. You can be very proud of Deirdre and Rory. They still visit filmfestivals in your honour. They delight fans and strangers alike with their stories about you, and ofcourse their friendliness. I propose a toast to you, the master of the 7 seas and beyond. The man who still is loved by the people who visit this blog and many others. One day we all join you, but untill then, a toast to the best swashbuckler there ever was.
I hope everybody will join me with this toast to the man who gave us Captain Blood, Robin Hood, George Armstrong Custer and many happy hours in the cinema and at home. Viva Errol Flynn

I just found this on Bluesky. You can buy the book for $19.99 as paperback or read the ebook for free if you are a amazon unlimited member. For more information you can follow the link. I am not sure what kind of book it is, but as it is about our dear Errol, I thought it might be interesting.
A little update. I found it as Ebook at sites of bookstores in the Netherlands. I was able to get it for free. From what I saw it contains pictures and Errol’s lifestory. Not sure if all is correct though. I hope the fans outside the USA are able to find it too.

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.

The Pirate’s Daughter
02
Apr
Recently I stumbled upon a book that mentioned Errol. The story looked interesting, so I bought the book. It was published in 2007 and maybe some of you heard of it.
In 1946 Errol arrives on Jamaica with his yacht Zaca. Ida Joseph meets him and falls in love. It takes 3 years before she becomes his lover. When she finds out that she carries Errol”s child, she expects him to divorce his wife and marry her. But life is not as simple as that.
Both Ida and Errol fight their own demons. Their daughter May also has her own problems. This story is not so much about Errol but it is a nice read. I really like it.
Margaret Cezair-Thompson got her inspiration when she heard stories of Errol living on the island. It is (ofcourse) fictional, but we see Errol as he lived there. Patrice, Lily and Beverly all appear or are mentioned, but they have fictional names.
It is interesting to read how Errol’s life could have been on the island. The main story is about Ida and May and how they deal with their lives.
You can find the book on Amazon and bookstores. I bought it through my local bookstore in the Netherlands, so I think it can be ordered easily from the USA or other countries. I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s nice to read about the man behind the moviestar. Even if it is fictional.

Today marks the sad 65th anniversary of Errol’s passing. Anniversary might not be the right word, but today I will be thinking of him. Our Robin Hood, Don Juan. A toast to Errol in heaven, who looks down on us with a smile. He is gone, but certainly not forgotten. Bung ho old boy, here’s to the one and only Errol Flynn.
