Physical impediments
Errol Flynn wanted to serve his country during the war, but was prevented from doing so by physical impediments. Undeterred, he still supported the US armed forces’ war efforts by making propaganda movies like “Objective Burma” (1943).

Richard Glatzer, who did superb work co-writing and co-directing ‘The Last Of Robin Hood’ died Tuesday March 10, 2015 from advance complications of ALS (“Lou Gehrig’s Disease”). Together with Wash Westmoreland, they wrote and directed five films, including most notably last year’s acclaimed motion picture ‘Still Alice’ which won a Best Actress Oscar for Julianne Moore’s performance. Sadly these two artists were finally in the big time.

Sadahichi Meets St. Pete, 1944, where he went during WWII to avoid internment and write his autobiography. He did avoid internment, but obviously not interment. Nor did he finish his autobiography.
Here is his very difficult to find grave marker, cleaned off and photographed today by a fan of his more famous Bundy Drive compatriot.

Last Of Robin Hood – Fascinating but depressing
09
Mar
Last Of Robin Hood cover the last two years of Errol Flynn’s life and career. By and large this accurate film was superbly written and directed by Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer. The stars Susan Sarandon, Dakota Fanning, and Kevin Kline are all magnificent in their roles. Kline in particular is uncanny in his portrayal of Errol Flynn which is right on the money. The audience quickly forgets we are watching Kline and take him for Flynn himself. The producers even uses some actual footage of the real Errol Flynn which perfectly meshed with Kline’s performance. This film, which is never boring, grabs the audience by its throat from the very beginning and doesn’t let go until the very end. Watching the Last Of Robin Hood, is like watching a train wreck. You can’t avert your eyes but at the same time you are overwhelmed with shock and grief. Here we are seeing the last sad, pathetic days of one of Hollywood’s greatest stars. We are appalled to see how low Errol Flynn sank in both his career and personal life. Death came as a kindness. As ususal the film industry completely overlooked this film’s achievement and it’s wonderful cast. The DVD box says it runs 94 minutes but even including five minutes of credits, it finished at 90 minutes. Lokk for our former blogmate Robert Florczak listed prominently in the credits as a Flynn consultant. Ralph Schiller
