Book: Adventures of a “bon vivant”

25 Mar

When I registered myself on Facebook recently, immediately I got a message from a co-blogger, the very well known Ventura Sala, living in Mallorca. He mentioned the “must have” book, (which is only published in Spanish) called “Aventuras de un vividor”. It is only to mention the fact that this book actually exists. Although we haven't met yet (but we were d*mn close only a few weeks ago!), Ventura is probably the only  local authority on Errol on that beautiful island in the Med.

He sent me two CD's in Spanish with a wealth of information, which in their own way are an enormous contribution to the legion of EF fans / admirers. Once we do meet, I am certain that he will take me to Errol's old “water holes”. Can't wait!!

Errol thinks he is a pretender!!!!!!!!!

25 Mar

Hi all,

As promised I would send the documents regarding Errol Flynn's extract from the register on his arrival at the Rock Hotel in Gibraltar. I send the files to David in order for him to process this delightful task, probably you will find them in the “Document” category. Please read it, his “one word” comment is so typical for him. Errol had that special GSOH apart from being a practical joker. Reminds me, anyone ready for the subject “The big snook”?

Friends of Errol Flynn (Fanzine)

25 Mar

Have any other Flynn bloggers come across the 'Friends of Flynn' fanzine? I picked up a handful of issues a few years ago and they were very good, with some pretty rare and unique Flynn content.

best wishes,

Brian.

It seems appropriate to create a new QUIZ PAGE category on The Errol Flynn Blog due to the popularity of our Author Jan Vandervliet's idea to have a weekly quiz, or daily quiz! Those who choose to participate now have a centrally located place to enjoy the questions and answers!

Errol Flynn weekly Quiz

23 Mar

Dear fellow bloggers/authors,

I just got a marvelous idea to keep the right spirit going and give the site even more “zest. Probably a “first” among such quality websites. Why not take it in turn for each regular author to ask the others a quiz question on a weekly basis and get everybody (time permitting) going, searching and trying to give the correct answer. I think that keeps the juices and spirits (excluding alcohol) flowing I would say, what?

I don't mean questions like: “Who was the director of such and such film made in such and such year. Or “In which film did Errol have to grow a beard?”  Neither, “Who co-starred opposite Errol in “Hello God”? (although I must admit that would be a great trick question now I think about it (haha!). Hell no, I mean more “deep down” substantial questions. Now I am writing this I become quite serious about it actually. Is there such a thing as “I demand or I insist?”

Comments please…………………..!?

 

Personally, I think it is a must

La Femme Nouvelle 1945

23 Mar

Just to try how the new category works. Thanks for changing it, David. This is from a French magazine, one of my absolute favourites. Unfortunately, I only got this cover, but in the original magazine, there was an article called “Male elegance” and it sure would have been very interesting to read what they had to say about Errol…

Errol and Me

21 Mar

Well, now we have read all the interesting comments on “The Life and Work of  Errol Flynn”, which unexpectedly for me sparked off great dialogue between our fellow bloggers and really got that great contrast emerging between people, could I perhaps ask you to take the bait and get the high standard articles going on this sublime website and  continue to comment honestly on “Errol and Me” by Nora. For myself, at the time when I bought this fabulous discovery, I found it of enormous value trying to find out more on the enigmatic Errol, I learned a lot from it. It was an “eye opener” for me years ago, so “open” and well put together. Occasionally, I read a bit from this excellent book which I think should be a “must” to have.
