From Aussie to Actor
Dear Flynnstones,
when the Australian photo model George Lazenby got the call up to follow Sean Connery as 007, he expressed an interesting take on acting in an early interview.
“What about your Australian accent- do you think there‘ll be any problems as far as international filmgoers are concerned?“
“No, I don‘t think so. I saw a film recently with Errol Flynn, and he still had traces of an Australian accent, and he was accepted. I think if you do what you feel and be natural, people accept you as a person. If you try and be an actor, which I am not trying to be, they may not accept me, because I am not an actor, if you know what I mean…“

Let‘s Get Ready to Mocambo
Dear Flynnstones,
the Mocambo tops the list of nightclub brawls during the era of Errol.
But Flynn fisticuffs involved only an open hand, an egg and a no show by our Hollywood hero: jhgraham.com…

Epittome
Dear Flynnstones,
a tribute to the golden era of Hollywood will hit the the big screen this Christmas. The title Baby-lon seems fit. At first glance, Brad Pitt must have channeled Errol Flynn with a little Indy Jones or rather Peter O‘ Toole in „My favorite Year“ for his role. Calling it overacting would be an understatement. Homage or fromage is for you to decide.
Enjoy,

The Deep Waters Secret
Dear Flynnstones,
this weekend finally saw the release of the latest film from Flashdance director Adrian Lyne “Deep Water“. It features the classical love triangle of a woman, a man and a secret. The story follows, if not entirely, the whodunnit novel from Patricia Highsmith starring stunning new Bond girl Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck, from Good Will Hunting and Flat Man renown.
In the late 1950s Flynn Enterprises announced a project called “Deep Waters“ starring French actress Corinne Calvet and her Prince Charming husband Jeffrey Stone to be filmed by Flynntimo manager Barry Mahon in the South of France, Spain and Tangiers.
“The story is woven around the hidden treasure lost, when Freddie McEvoy’s yacht went down in a storm. Quite a yarn if truth were told.“ (Hedda Hopper)
The script to the never made movie was auctioned off online on the 15th December 2005.
The buyer is a keeper.
The secret if Errol‘s best man was murdered has been buried deep ever since.
