Tell lost and found

12 May

Dear Flynnstones,

when Errol ran out of money for his ambitious apple shot „The Story of William Tell“, an angry albergo (hotel) owner of Courmayeur appropriated some of the film material for the unpaid bills.

Tell-escope

72 years on the reels have finally been developed and shed new light on the missing master shot.

Here the Errol Flynn stunt-in Jock Easton rehearses with an unknown Italian starlet.

The scences now reside at Cinecittà for the world to see.

When in Rome

02 May

Dear Flynnstones,

with the world waiting for a new pope to be elected, Rome these days again is caput mundi.

Also Errol was very much in focus, once he arrived at Stazione Termini, visiting St. Peter and doing as the Romans do…(1:20 min.)

Farewell Maid Mariandl

23 Apr

 

Dear Flynnstones,

shortly after Easter, Mrs. Waltraut Haas passed over at age 97.

She was to play Maria, the second female lead, in Errol‘s ill fated Will Tell.

Never ill willed and always a good sport, she told us all about it: www.theerrolflynnblog.com…

She is an Austrian actress icon and will forever be remembered as Mariandl, a role that made her famous at the tender age of 17:

She enjoyed 80 more years on screen and stage alongside stars like Curd Juergens, Heinz Ruehmann and Karlheinz Boehm.

Although Flynn missed the appleshot and she never got paid, she spoke about our Hollywood hero fondly.

Sean Flynn (Rio) has a New Collectible Trading Card Game coming out!

14 Mar

Rory Flynn called me today to let me know her son Sean Flynn (Rio Amir) and his business partner Matt Cisneros have a new project together that is quite inventive and fun!

Sean Flynn writes:

We met in Atlanta, GA. in 2017 while working as scenic artists on an ABC television series, striking up an instant friendship. After working on various film/tv projects together, a creative partnership took shape and we have been honing our creative skills ever since.

We’ve written multiple scripts, composed a musical album, though our creative passions truly came together in 2021 with the creation of Micro Dudes, a collectible trading card game.

We have been cultivating this vision ever since, and we won’t back down! This world has become our obsession, and we hope that you will “squad up” with us …

Welcome to the Microarchy!

Check it out on Youtube and their Kickstarter

Please share to be part of this project and get some great perks!

Tell Finally Told

14 Feb

Dear Flynnstones,

wasn`t it only a matter of time until Errol Flynn`s ill fated William Tell adaptation would be remade?

Now 72 years later the Friedrich Schiller epos about a devout Swiss father battling a tyrannic Austrian army, fittingly once titled “Robin Hood of the Alps” by this blogs very own Ralph, will finally see the light of the big screen.

Director Nick Hamm has his finger on the crossbow trigger.

Here is a first bite of the apple: WILLIAM TELL | OFFICIAL TRAILER | IN CINEMAS NOW | Altitude Films
