Errol in Murder At Monte Carlo

I have read that two of Errol earliest movies – I Adore You (1933) and Murder At Monte Carlo (1934) are considered as being ‘lost’ films.What a shame.It makes it even more remarkable that In The Wake Of The Bounty (1933) still exists.It would be wonderful if these films,or even some clips from them,turn up somewhere one day.I hope they do,as it has happened many times before with other old movies.

I have also read that Errol makes a cameo in a movie called Always Together (1947).I haven’t been able to get a copy of this movie myself,but just wondered if anyone else has seen it and if Errol is indeed in it at all? As I have read that he is,yet I have also read that his scene (or scenes) were edited out of the movie?

Then there is Hello God (1951) of which the original print is said to have been destroyed by Errol himself after an argument? Is this true and is this film ‘lost’ too?

The Story Of William Tell (1953) looks like (from the few clips available) it would have been a terrific movie also.Such a shame Errol didn’t get to finish it.

As we (and most all of the first world!) know, one of the things Errol is most famous for is his astonishing list of gorgeous dates & girlfriends. Some of these stunning beauties remain legendary; some are almost entirely forgotton. How about we try to list as many as possible, with images from relevant timeframes when possible!

To start, may I introduce the magnificent Mary Ann Hyde:

I just ordered this film and it will be the first time in many years that I have seen it. I think I have seen it all the way thru but now I will have it in my collection. Ruth Roman is very nice and I enjoyed her in The Far Country with James Stewart which I hope will be put on Blu Ray some time since it is a great film but does not hold up to LED screens. I never saw it on a CRT but I am sure it looks much better on those.

I wonder what film Errol lost out on because of this injury. I found this photo on a site (address shown below)
I have no idea but this will be a good test for our resident Flynn experts.

After watching Against All Flags I had to put on Master Of Ballantrae. I have to admit that with location shooting, Cardiff filming it and maybe a larger budget if stands up better than Flags.
Even the matte painter is famous. You can see two of them below. My question is I have a DVD that is several years old and it is now available as a Warner Archive DVD. Is it the same transfer or a new one that is better? The old one looks pretty good but you never know. I will certainly get the Blu Ray if it comes out but not another DVD unless its far superior. Does anyone have both versions? Thanks

PS I found Yvonne Furneaux sexier than Beatrice Campbell. No wonder he was seeing her on the side.
She should have been the female lead I think.
