Earl Conrad thought it to be a cruel joke played on him by Errol while in Jamaica. Not true. Errol was telling the truth just like he always did.

Authors! A Note …

Authors, please remember to add a second or third category to your postings to help us fill out the blog pages. Many readers go directly to the categories to read what is there about a certain subject. If you do not select other categories before you publish everything goes to the front page. Because of our migration some years back to WordPress we ended up with a Main Page as a category. It’s is confusing, but a plugin now controls by default what is seen on the blog’s front page. You do not need to select any category to get onto the front page before you publish your post. But please add as many secondary category choices as will fit your posting so that readers will find them in our category tree. You can go back and add categories to your already published posts, and click Update to republish them and they will also appear in other categories. I know this is sometimes hard to remember. I have forgotten to do it, myself. But it really helps fill out the blog and makes it easy for readers to find what they are looking for. Thanks so much …

I thought maybe I had found something from the Warner archives but I am not sure they did storyboards back then. You had to smoke to get these.

It Dropped into Dodge 77 years ago

Apr
A couple days ago I watched Dodge City (1939)— (Lord only knows how many times I have) and a little tid-bit stored in my small tiny pea brain came to the for front, about how Hollywood had broken away from the tradition of premiering films in places such their California theaters – this time they premiered in Dodge City, Kansas, of which, cough-cough! you ready fro this? the city in which the movie was made about – bet you never knew that did you? right! Ok well lets move on my fellow Flynnsters – It premiered there 77 years ago this past April 1st – 1939. I wonder if TCM who broadcast it this past week knew of this – there was no intro to the movie from Robert Osborn or Ben Mankiewicz as there are a couple times a night prior to the movie, so not sure if there were any notion to this premier history? Yet I found it interesting so I research a little and found this article that posted in March of 2015 in the Dodge City Daily Globe.
This movie, to me, is another excellent western that stands the test of time, 77 years strong!
It has also always been considered to have had the best bar brawl scene of movies.
although his performance shines bright, our man Flynn did not like it so much, especailly the part about him being Irish and traveling the world in order to make a fit into a western hero due to his accent; he thought of it as BS and another JW exploitation of swashbuckling hero jumping from ships to road apple streets.
Personally I can understand his wanting dif, but for me; I sur’em glad he mad’em partner….
