My dear fellow Flynn fans,
in connection to last week’ s (puzzle) piece on the”White Rajah” I summon you to chip in on Errol’s announced, but never realized film projects.
I know of the following, either via newspaper or self promotion of our Hollywood hero himself:
“Goya” after an idea, rather a vision of Salvatore Dali
“Michael Strogoff”, the Jules Verne classic, who saw the movie light later starring Curt Juergens
“Lord Valiant”, a historic fencing flic side by side with Robert Wagner and Joan Collins
“Singapore East” a junk boat pirate spectacle situated in Japan with Italian singer-actor Alberto Rabagliati
And the mother of all sequels “The new adventures of Robin Hood”, which I especially am curious about. Maybe one of our elder statesmanly scolars knows if it ever was really officially announced by Warner Bros. ?

Tiger Tale: Film of the Flynn Family Tiger?
06
Aug
In Wicked, Wicked Ways, Errol tells of T.T.’s Tasmanian Tiger, caged on a courtyard behind his childhood Hobart home. According to leading Aussie Flynn Scholar, Robert de Young, the Flynn’s Taz Tiger may be the very one featured in “The Hunter”, the 2012 filmed-in-Tasmania movie starring Willem Dafoe. Looks like the some of the spectacular locations featured in the film may also well be the very wondrous land Errol speaks of adventuring through with his father in search of the Thylacine and other extremely rare mostly-marsupial Down Under species.
Here is an official trailer of The Hunter, with clips of what may have been Errol’s “pet” “tiger” and old childhood stomping in Tasmania:
The Hunter Official Trailer #1 – Willem Dafoe:
And here’s more extended, original live footage of the Thylacine in question, filmed at the Hobart Zoo:
Was this Errol’s “pet” Tasmania Tiger??

How did Errol measure up?
Alice Marble & Jack Dempsey!! No problema, their creds & quals to judge are untouchable. But Walter Winchell?!!

Who, What & Who?

Errol once (or more) stayed at the quaint little cottage depicted below. One of his fellow WB actors famously lived in the place. They were in a really good movie together once.
Who was it? What’s the name of his home? And who was the leading lady in the film?
CLUE: Today’s date is a big clue.
P.S. For 5 or 6 hundred pounds a night you too can stay there!

When the Queen of the Headhunters Met the King of the Swashbucklers

There’s a new biography about Sylvia Brett Brooke, the notoriously legendary, Queen Consort of the last White Rajah of Sarawak. Entitled “Best Exotic Kingdom”, it includes an account of the evening the “Ranee” “spurned” Errol’s proposal that he play “The White Rajah”. Meeting Errol, Lili & their pet Persian cat left a lasting impression on Queen Sylvia, one she herself described:
Though The White Rajah was never made, Warner Brothers did creatively use the title in Boy Meets Girl, starring James Cagney & Pat O’Brien, with a young Ronald Reagan “premiering” The White Rajah.
