Reynold Brown did the poster art and I found a site that has many posters on it. Some images are very good quality like the one here but the finished poster only came out in part either by mistake or on purpose. It is good enough that one could make their own and try to sell it. I like to collect images for myself so that one day I might make a poster for my wall but not to sell.

I received and watched my copy of The Roots Of Heaven on Blu Ray and enjoyed it. They did a pretty good job on the transfer and its nice to see Flynn in widescreen. However if you put his scenes back to back I am not sure it would be 15 minutes long. It should have been much more especially the scene where he talks about his problems during WWII and what happened to his men in that they stayed silent but he talked to save himself. It goes by so quickly you may miss the point if you didn’t already know about it from reading reviews like I have. It explains why he is such a mess and I wonder if it was like that because of Flynn’s condition of not being able to memorize he lines better? What a bummer. I know they had trouble from the heat but you would never know it from watching the film. They never once mention it and they don’t show anyone drinking water like they are suffering at all. They are not sweating that bad either unless they had 100 wardrobe changes during the takes. Juliette Greco is very sexy I must say. My favorite scenes with him are when they start getting down to business towards the end of the film when he acts more normal and not a drunken fool talking about his jumping bean. I wonder if they will put Istanbul on Blu Ray? That is another Cinemascope film.

I had not seen it before, stumbled across the German version, too. So if you wanna hear Errol speak German again…

Found an article well written about Errol in The Sun Also Rises, well worth reading …

Master Flynn Goes West – Through the East. His first international adventure! This is the trip Errol talks about in (His) Wicked, Wicked Ways. Not so great for the platypii, perhaps, but surely one of the most important and formative adventures of Errol’s life!

In an article reporting the stunning success of Spain’s left-wing Podemos Party in this week’s European Parliament elections, the New York Times reprised a comparison of the party’s very young, handsome & popular candidate, Pablo Iglesias, to Our Man Flynn. Looks like it’s not the last of Robin Hood:

Ever seen these photo's before?
I came across another great source of photos many of which I have never seen before, and that is saying alot. There is even a photo from "The Last Of Robin Hood" not seen before. At least I havn't seen it yet. Click the link to check them all out. Some of the images are samples of films in that they are a second or two long. This guy is a true fan.

Today Being Memorial Day, It’s An Excellent Occasion to Tribute Errol’s Great Portrayals of Those Who Served Their Country in Time of War.
What was Errol’s Greatest Portrayal as an American in the Miltary?
What was his Greatest “War Film” of All?
What Role – Regardless of Nationality – was His Greatest ?

I went ahead and ordered Roots Of Heaven even though its not Flynn at his best but also I only saw it on YouTube about a year ago because it was free then but not now. The main reason though is that just maybe if the film sells out they may choose to do another Flynn film. This one should have sold out by now but is still available which is a bad sign. I will right a review when I get it.
