In should`ve been Flynn 10

19 Sep

Dear fellow Flynn fans,

here is another monumental movie that Errol didn`t get his armour on for.

Based loosely on the novel “The Talisman” by Sir Walter Scott, Warner Bros. clearly wanted to jump on the Ivanhoe bandwagon with this vehicle. The tableround was decked, but Flynn was kept in check. He played “The dark Avenger” in England instead and narrowly missed appearing in one of “The fifty worst films of all time”: en.wikipedia.org…

His probaly was the role of Sir Kenneth of Huntington, a noble scotsman, siding with King Richard the Lionheart in the 3rd Crusade against the Saracens. The chivalric love interest would`ve been Virginia Mayo, while the musical score was composed by flynntimate Max Steiner and errolpal Otto (von) Reichow makes an uncredited appearance as Austrian soldier.

Brush up your Germlish, Laddies and Gentlewomen, for here it is in its entire cinemascopic splendor:

Objective in Color Errol in Swamp

In his day, as Errol put it in the trailer below, it was “Up the Burmese Creek without a paddle.” Today, no paddle is necessary.

What Famous Actor?

02 Aug

What famous actor’s interest in the film business began when he saw Errol in the Dodge City premier parade?

1) He was a young child at the time.

2) He died in this decade, between 2010 and 2016.

3) He once had an indirect connection to Henry Fonda.

4) He also once had an indirect connection to Sean Flynn.

5) He was a very well known and often highly regarded actor.

Who knows, he may even be in the YouTube video below. … He said he was at the parade with his mother.
