Grossinger’s “Waldorf of the Catskills”
www-recordonline-com.cdn.ampproject.org…
Paul Grossinger was also the man who conceived and arranged the matchless Flynn’s famous tennis match in Manhattan, at the legendary Park Avenue Armory, on February 1, 1945. Based on Farmers’ Almanac historical records, I ,believe it was on the low to mid 20° that day in New York, therefore explaining Errol’s coat. (I was in that Armory during a couple of winters in the mid-70s, and can attest that the area where Errol played tennis was damp, drafty and cold.)

Sex in the South Seas — Cinema & Symposiums

Aug
“The Biggest Tiki Party on the Planet”
With a discussion of In the Wake of the Bounty, and other Bounty films, et al.
Beginning today in San Diego
Friday 11:30am-12:30: Sex in South Seas Cinema
Ed Rampell is an L.A.-based full-time freelance writer and author. In this titillating symposium, Rampell will expose everything you ever wanted to know about Sex in South Seas Cinema. The film genre that offers the allure of South Seas sirens, naked nymphs, bronzed gods and goddesses, sensual dance and the first Western-style kiss on the lips.
Definition of the South Seas Cinema Genre:
[T]he element that distinguishes South Seas Cinema is its depiction of paradise on earth.
[T]he silent films “Tabu” and “Moana of the South Seas” as early examples of the genre. He will be discussing all four of the “Mutiny on the Bounty” films in his Friday Tiki Oasis Symposium: the Clark Gable 1935 film, Marlon Brando’s 1962 one, the more recent Mel Gibson 1984 adaptation as well as the lesser known Errol Flynn film “In the Wake of the Bounty.”
No question why Errol’s film qualified for the festival, just look at the “Otahiti” scenes from about 10:45 to 20:15!
