”NOW SHOWING” ERROL FLYNN FILMS

01 Jun

Lets go back in time when the movie years were golden. There was no Television and nearly everyone went to the movies on a weekly basis to see their favorite movie stars. It was an important time in motion picture history. It was an exciting time for all of the fans to see the stars on the big screen. Here are some photo of those great theater marquis and the fans who waited in line with much anticipation to see them as they were meant to be seen…. “On the big screen!”

Flynn Titles Broadcast Back to Back

Beginning at 6 a.m. on June 20, the always-terrific Turner Classic Movies will screen seven binge-worthy titles starring the late swashbuckling star Errol Flynn.

Dust off your DVR, put up your feet, and prepare to enjoy Flynn at the peak of his talents in these titles, as listed in Now Playing: A Viewer’s Guide to Turner Classic Movies:

“Rocky Mountain” (1950), with Flynn and Patricia Wymore in a frontier drama about a Confederate troop attempting to build an army in the West. (6 a.m.)

“The Master of Ballantrae” (1953), with Flynn and Roger Livesey in a story of a Scottish lord leading a rebellion against the British. (7:30 a.m.)

“Adventures of Don Juan” (1948), with Flynn and Viveca Lindfors in a favorite about the famous ladies man who saves his queen from treason. (9 a.m.)

“San Antonio” (1945), with Flynn and Alexis Smith in a frontier favorite with a reformed rustler tracking cattle thieves. (11 a.m.)

“They Died With Their Boots On” (1941), with Flynn and Olivia De Havilland in the romanticized story of Custer’s last stand. (1 p.m.)

“The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex” (1939), with Flynn and Bette Davis in a historical epic about how Elizabeth I faced the destruction of her kingdom due to her attraction to the Earl of Essex. (3:30 p.m.)

“Captain Blood” (1935), with Flynn, De Havilland and Basil Rathbone in a classic title (it ranks up there with “The Adventures of Robin Hood” in the Flynn top-title list) about a doctor who escapes from prison and becomes a pirate to survive. (5:30 p.m.)

The flowers of Florentine Gardens

25 May

IMG_3722

Dear fellow Flynn fans,

I came across a Florentine Gardens nightclub programm with the signatures of Errol and Sophie Tucker on it. The Yiddishe Momme was one of the main attractions of the cool hot spot famous for its nude dancing dinner shows. Marilyn Monroe sat front row, Yvonne DeCarlo took center stage and our swashbuckler buckled up in his seat.
The location became also infamous for his patron s involvement in the Black Dahlia murder case. Mark Hansen was a main suspect in the slaying of Elizabeth Short, when his little black book with phone numbers of honorable Hollywood clientele was found under her belongings. One page was missing. Hansen got cleared, but was later on shot in a separate incident by a furious female. “Few flowers flourish in the shades…”

Enjoy,

Mail Bag Mystery!

23 May

David, my question – my mother’s first husband (early/mid 30ies) was Ralph Granrud. According to her, this man was the captain of one of Flynn’s boats. He apparently was lost at sea while moving the boat from (I assume) Australia to someplace north. Since he was from Tacoma, I have often wondered if this was true. I did read My Wicked, Wicked Ways and saw no reference. Wondered if maybe you have come across something like this. And I have no idea why I’m curious except I’m a writer. Thanks again, Randall …

Thanks, Randall! We might find out something for you!
