Flynn`s Footsteps- Hemingway`s hideaway
31
Aug
Dear Flynnstones,
welcome to Pamplona, where the sun also rises and the bulls run the streets.
In Café Iruna Errol, Tyron, Mel, Eddie and Ava sipped sangria or cerveza in no particular order.
This venerable venue hosts the ultimate homage to Hemingway.
At the semi-subterranean minibar stands a life size figure of the Chicagoan giant of writing.
Hem never left the building and it was never beneath him to pour his own drink.
In mid July, at the San Fermin festival the cobbled streets are crowded with participants of the bull runs.
They taunt the toros dressed in traditional white clothes with a red neckerchief and a black basque hat on top.
Comes August the streets are cleaned again.
A sight to see is the Cathedral Santa María la Real.
Here you pray for a good head start or a last moment getaway.
For protection carry a wineskin like Flynn.
Enjoy,

The Robin Hood Connection?
19
Aug
On Saturday, September 6, 2025, a podcast will become available. It will be on the above subject with a focus on the description below:
Errol Flynn in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
In 1920, composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold was attacked by Vienna’s music critics for a symphonic work they called “too modern” and “too difficult.”
So, he must have found it particularly satisfying when—two decades later—he won the Oscar for his score to The Adventures of Robin Hood—which recycled much of that forgotten earlier work.
The story behind that is movie material itself—a series of dramatic turnabouts, with an unforgettable cast of characters, from Hollywood bigwigs to Nazi storm troopers.
You may tune in, at that time, by way of this address:

Mail Bag! A Candid Photo of Errol Flynn in a Car …
16
Aug
The Mailbag brings us a photo long buried in a trunk belonging to a pal of mine who says her grandparent took the image and she knows little else about it. We all know there must be such treasures in the attics of our older generation hidden from view. And here is one of those!
Thanks, my friend ..

Dear Flynnstones,
in the 1950s Errol & Amigos apparently acquired the Hotel Los Flamingos in Acapulco.
Known as the Hollywood Gang, John Wayne, Fred McMurray and Red Skelton, to name a few, partied hard at their hideaway south of the border.
Liz Taylor and Clark Gable came to visit.
In order to get a little sleep now and then, co-patron Johnny Weissmuller built his villa, the Casa Tarzan very nearby.
Rooms are still for rent.
