The Errol Flynn Blog

Hi all- I found an interesting story about Errol’s visit to Hatfield House  in 1954. This is the Errol I like to think about.

When Hollywood Came to Hatfield

I did search before I posted but I apologise  in advance if this has already been recounted.  Wouldn’t it have been great to take the tour with him!

For whatever reason, The Last Of Robin Hood was not released today in the Chicago area.   Can anyone verify if it opened elsewhere today in the USA?   If yes, can you post some reviews?  Thanks Ralph

Apparently, Errol Flynn created a record number of torn or split tights during the filming of Don Juan!

In recent years Errol Flynn fans saw the passing of many of his leading ladies from his films.  These include Cornell Borchers, Ruth Roman, Eleanor Parker, Beverly Aadland, and Patrice Wymore.  

Can you EF scholars name all the surviving Errol Flynn leading ladies from his films still alive today?    Here are two hints, one name immediately comes to mind.   Two of the leading ladies were child actresses at the time they worked with Flynn.  

  Thanks Ralph

Officially, the much talked about and anticipated film ‘The Last Of Robin Hood’ with Kevin Kline and Susan Sarandon opens nationwide in the USA on Friday August 29, 2014.   It will be interesting to see what the Chicago Sun-Times film critic Richard Roeper has to say about the film.   He succeeded the late Roger Ebert.    Roeper has little interest in old Hollywood legends and previously panned the film ‘Hollywoodland’ which was about the strange death of George Reves, the actor who starred on the 1950’s television series ‘The Adventures Of Superman’.   In the end I would say he was correct about that one but for different reasons, it was boring.   See you at the movies.  Ralph
