Looking lithe and lean, and more handsome than should be allowed by law, Errol Flynn was never better suited to a role than the legendary boxer James J. “Gentleman Jim“ Corbett. Indeed, this rousing screen biography captures the essence of two colorful personalities – Flynn and Corbett – at the height of their careers. Set primarily against the backdrop of the 1880’s San Francisco, the film follows Corbett’s rise from bank clerk to world champion. With his lightning quick punches and dance-like footwork, the glib, cocky Irishman revolutionized the heretofore illegal prizefighting game, elevating it from the bare knuckle brawling to the sport of skill it is today. An excellent supporting cast of Warner Bros. favorites features the lovely Alexis Smith, the always hearty Alan Hale, and the irresistible bluster of Ward Bond, whose unforgettable portrayal of the great John L Sullivan will touch your heart. For Flynn at his best and an arousing, sometimes wistful look back at professional boxing early days, Gentleman Jim ranks as one of the finest of many biographical classics to come out of the golden age at Warner Bros.
INTERESTING TO NOTE: Gentleman Jim along with the rest of the titles from Vol. 2. WB DVDs from the 2006 to 2008 era are notorious for rotting (visual quality-wise), SO… this is welcome news for fans.

Errol Flynn’s Mulholland House 1942, Moving In!
29
Aug
Errol moves into his newly constructed home in early 1942. There are a few different dates from different sources, but February seems to be the most accurate. Also listed is the actual size based on the dimensions shown on the architect’s preliminary drawings. (Please excuse the quality of the plans.) Also added is a total cost based on today’s economic values.

Mail Bag brings us this from Debby Phielix …
Hi David,
This might be something for the blog. It praises Errol as the best screen Custer and is about They Died With Their Boots On. It is an interesting podcast, I think.

Mail Bag! Errol Flynn’s Hobart with Ross Schnioffsky! Part 6

Jul
A break from Errol’s Hobart residences.
Day Two (Part 5) of my Errol Flynn/Hobart Adventure – The State Theatre, Elizabeth Street, North Hobart
The State Theatre, also known as the North Hobart Picture Palace, is one of the oldest in Australia and it is still operating as a movie house. It opened in 1913. Errol attended nearby schools and spent a lot of time at his girlfriend’s house so it is almost certain that he watched silent films here. Amongst his heroes were Tom Mix, Douglas Fairbanks and John Barrymore. There is a commemorative star in the pavement in front of the theatre. I am sure that he later met these stellar stars in Hollywood. I have also tacked on two photos of the Odeon Cinema. This was formerly the Strand and was one of several theatres in which the young Errol watched films, including silent versions of “Captain Blood” and “Robin Hood”. It is highly likely that Errol paid more attention to the girl sitting next to than to the screen heroics. The Odeon building still stands but it has changed significantly and is no longer a picture theatre.

Back to Errol Flynn
Sorry for the delay folks, I got caught up with other projects.
Day Two (Part 4) of my Errol Flynn/Hobart Adventure – 10 Darcy St, South Hobart
From 1914 to 1916 the Flynns lived here. After the “you show me yours” episode in the back yard with the little girl next door the seven year old Errol got into heaps of trouble and consequently ran away. His mother wrote, “We suffered agonies of anxiety for days and nights. He was found miles away where he went and offered himself for work at a dairy farm. He only asked five shillings a week for wages, saying that would do him as he never intended to marry.”
