I wonder if there is anybody “in the know” regarding Jim Fleming, (Errol's friend, stand-in, housekeeper/manager), I believe they met up around 1935 but they fell out in 1949. Tried to dig into this subject for quite a while without results. I wonder if there is anything on him. I am sure it would be great reading material and a great contribution to the site. I think Jim could tell a story or two what went on in Errol's hey-days. Maybe from Alexander, the valet/butler even more.

I don't know if this has ever come up before on the blog, I didn't look at all the blog's archive. I have a lot of books about EF. I wonder if other fans know the existence of this book written by D. Bramov in 2005. It is a psychoanalytical biography. I found it quite exciting, interesting and definitely intriguing, no photos though. Worth looking into for sure.

Just a quick note to mention that I know it must be frustrating to post a comment or post an article only to see it not immediately published. This moderation is selected by the blogware according to certain criteria that sometimes makes no sense. It is intended to stop the enormous amount of spamming that the blog undergoes these days. This is the price of being well read and linked to from all over the world so much so that spammers think posting a fake comment with a backlink will get them traffic to their websites or affiliate marketing sites. In fact, it won't because of the the no follow tags that are automatically added to their links. Google or other search engines will not list these as working links. However, they still persist… so please know that as soon as I see a moderated comment or post with a familiar name, I approve it immediately!

I received an e-mail from Thriftbooks and I looked a little at their offerings and I found this book, which is quite strange to me.
There is a book for sale “My Wicket, Wicket Ways” by Sandra Cisneros,
released in 19992 by Knopf Publishing and it is a hardcover ISBN
0679418210
Can anybody use Errol Flynn's title of his book?
I am rather curious!

We all know that Errol had the two Siroccos of which the later Sirocco is really the 'Karenita' who is alive and well and the Zaca, but apparently so I heard, that he had a big range of boats, anything from 30' up.
There was for instance the 'BARBARY' a 16 ton ketch and here are pictures of her – a nice little Beauty – and then read all about her in the link below!
It looks like most of his boat stood for something good, either before him or after him and for a good and famous cause! His choices of boats were great ones as he was! And more important, they are still cruising on his beloved oceans and he is on them having a hell of a time!
Your and my job is now is to find the other boats Errol owned in his life, there supposed to be about 20 of them, large and small, so we have our job cut out and for something worthwhile and meaningful as we try to trace his life!
Please keep searching and add them to his collection on this Blog! It would be great if all our Blog members would participate! I know we have Master Sleuths amongst us! I would love to hear from all of you and after this task I have a wonderful prize for you it will tickle you pink!
Have fun!

Here is a rare item owned by Jan from Spain who tells me that the picture sent to us was “…taken just now at night, the outer border is actually off-white but it
turned out pink. Surely Errol's spirit was looking over my shoulder
while I was snapping away. Anyway, it is a laugh, right?”

Dear Flynn fans,
With permission of David Dewitt I hereby wish to place this blog intending to sell this extremely rare item, ideal for the serious Hollywood memorabilia collector. I decided now to sell some of my collection. I own a good number of Flynn genuine items, all with their individual Certificate of Authenticity of course. Recently I have sold memorabilia of Errol Flynn to a variety of international clientele. I decided to let the fans know…
What I wanted to add to it was that rather than writing the full and
lenghty description plus numerous photos (as this fabulous item deserves
that) and would definitely “clog the blog”, I would send any serious
customer it on a personal basis and discuss details.
I am selling items on a “no” profit basis, just like to cash out here.
Apart from this cigarette case of Flynn (given to him by his idol John
Barrymore), I also own a few sets of cufflinks andd ascots and last but
not least an extraordinary smoking robe in mint condition, and items
from other A-list celebrities of the Golden era like John Barrymore,
Paul Muni, Orson Welles, Gary Cooper etc.
One tempting photo of this case in extremely good conditon will follow
soon. This item has its own individual CoA from a very reputable source
that only trades in genuine and special items. On the reverse side of
the case are the very apt words for Errol's remarkable character “Full
of Sound and Fury, John”.
I am to please and maintain a highly ethical approach will all my
dealings. I like to keep my international reputation intact. The lucky
buyer should not have any worries at all, I sincerely hope it will be
another dedicated fan just like myself since I got hooked on Errol since
1985 .
Thank you.
Jan
