From the Errol Flynn Blog Mailbag!

Hello,
My parents live in Alaska from the early thirties to the mid
forties. My father gave me a piece of the canvas skin of an airplane
bearing the name “Scirroco III”. He told me that it was from an
airplane owned by Errol Flynn that had crashed in Alaska. He happened
on the wreckage and decided to take it as a souvenir.

Did Errol Flynn have such an airplane? It would seem to have been a
small plane from the fact that it had a canvas skin. If he had such a
plane, did he crash it in Alaska?

I would appreciate any information you might provide.
Thanks, Don
Anybody know anything about this?

Question to the experts
09
Sep
Dear experts on the blog,
Tina and I disagree a little upon a certain picture/scene from a blooper reel from 1944. We would like to know where this scene is from. Tina thinks it is from one of the radio shows, whereas I think it could be from “Gentleman Jim”. However, it is not to be seen in my dubbed German version of this film. So maybe one of you could help us? Thank you very muc!

References in movies to relevant EF dates, places etc.

Sep
Hi!
Again maybe I've picked up on something that is not new and may have already been discussed but have people noticed that in “Captain Blood” when Errol is dictating his agreement with his band of men on the ship after escaping from the island the date he quotes as the day of the agreement is his birthday -20th June and then in one of the early scenes the Captain that arrests him is Captain Hobart! I've been meaning to see if there are any more references but maybe other people have picked up on a few in other movies?
kind regards Diana

Vote for EF films to go on DVD
06
Sep
Hi!
This maybe old news but I just realised on the TCM website you can vote for a movie to be released on dvd. When you search for a movie title and then see the screen for the movie on the right hand side there is a column marked “homevideovote” with how many votes received.
So I have now voted on every Errol movie that is not on dvd at present and would encourage anyone to do so if they haven't already. The only exception is I couldn't find “The Sisters”, but saw “That Forsyte Woman” has the highest vote.
I'm so hoping TCM/Warner will eventually release all remaining EF movies on dvd. One I'm very keen on is “Cry Wolf”.
Would be very happy to hear if anyone knows that more are to be released?
kind regards
Diana
