PORTLAND: THE OTHER JAMAICA, by Ken Roueche

15 Jul

Received an email from Ken Roueche:

Good Afternoon:
 
My latest book has just arrived from
the
printer.  PORTLAND: THE OTHER JAMAICA chronicles the stories from many
of
the dreamers, schemers and crusaders who, over the past 400 years, have
left
their imprint on this most remarkable parish.  Included are over 45
images,
including the works of local artists and many historic photographs that
have
never before appeared in print. 

Further details are available on my web
site at www.portlandtheotherjamaica.com

 
Given that many of you are unfamiliar
with my work
as a writer and publisher, I am offering a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. 
Purchases
can be made through Paypal, or if you prefer to pay by cheque or money
order
please contact me directly.
 
To my friends and family in Jamaica,
please be
patient. Planning is underway for a printing in Kingston, and the real
book launch will be in Porti in October.  You will also be able to make
your purchase at a Special Jamaican Price!
 
Yours truly,

Errol Flynn Mailbag!

12 Jul

I got a couple of nice emails from Theresa who says:

Hi. I love your blog & pick up some of your Jamaica-related Flynn
articles for my blog. I received a comment for you & wanted to get
it to you, so I'm trying to join your blog. Here's the comment
anyway, in case you want to post it or reply!
Great articles!!

Hi John. Loved your Port Antonio history. It’s well-written, too.
Your Part III was extremely entertaining!

Was wondering if you witnessed any ’sign’ of any of the numerous
pathways that were made there by Errol. I’m sure a half century later
they have been overgrown, however I’m curious as to whether there are
any remaining ‘clues’.
Did you ever learn what part of the hotel Errol and Beverly stayed in
when they weren’t at the house on Navy Island?

Regards,
Dennis Mullen

I wrote and told Theresa I'd love to put the comment on the blog and a link to her website, as well…

She wrote back:

Thanks David. I love, love, LOVE your blog! My site is keepitjiggy.com….
Here's a link to Part 3 of the Titchfield Hotel post; links to Parts
1 & 2 are in the post. I also used Folly Great House and Navy Island! Keep up the fabulous posts! My love is
Portland and Port Antonio, and I love the charming history, so I was
thrilled to find your site. And thanks for including the link!

Documentaries made by Karen Hillhouse (director and writer) – Rudy Behlmer and other notables.

11 Jul

I am wondering if any of our members have any information about these documentaries made about Errol's movies and most important how to acquire copies of them?  These documentaries were made quite recently i.e 2005..
This is the website I found the attached information, but there are a lot more movie documentaries of Errol listed on the website:  www.imdb.com…
Looking forward to your replies!
Thank you,
Tina

Flynn films on DVD

11 Jul

I thought it would be a good idea to open up a post where we fellow Flynn enthusiasts could help each other with various items; specifically Flynn films on DVD. I have all but three Flynn films on DVD.
I'm searching for Northern Pursuit, Roots of Heaven and Crossed Swords. If anyone has copies of those films on DVD I'd be happy to exchange for copies of any of the films I have. Most of my non-commercial DVDs are fairly good copies with the exception of Virginia City and A Night in Havana (thanks Russ) – which are watchable but I am certainly on the look-out for better copies.

I also have a few of the Flynn documenatries on DVD including the fabulous Channel 4 programme Errol Flynn: For One Night Only (which I think is one of the best things ever done on Flynn) and again, am happy to exchange.
What I would like to get on DVD are some of the Errol Flynn Theatre episodes, I have them on video but to have these on DVD would be much more preferrable.

So, anyone interested in sharing then here is the place to post.

best wishes,

Brian.

Lincoln Douglas Hurst

11 Jul

I just found out that Lincoln Douglas Hurst, born on May 6, 1946 died on November 11, 2008; now knowing this, I am wondering about his so called forthcoming book advertised by the Internet book sellers i.e. Amazon etc. ““Errol Flynn: The True Adventures
of a Real-Life Rogue” –
who is the rogue here?
If he died in 2008 how can this book be published in 2010, in particular since I am waiting for my order to be filled since January 2010 with Amazon and have not received any notice that the book will not be forth coming.  On the contrary, I receive notices to the fact “If I wish to remain on the waiting list” and that to this day.
Anybody having any information to this mystery?

This book is still advertised on amazon to this minute as


Errol Flynn: The True Adventures of a Real-Life Rogue
by Lincoln Douglas Hurst (Hardcover – July 16, 2010)
