From Delvin Irwin's Blog, “The Lighter Side of Life” published online at the Clarion Ledger:
Directing duo are 'Sensational'
Glatzer, Westmoreland sign TV deal
By Michael Fleming
Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland (“Quinceanera”) have made a deal with HBO Films to write and direct “Sensational,” a drama that chronicles a scandalous affair Errol Flynn had with a 15-year-old girl. Glatzer and Westmoreland have also made a deal to turn “Quinceanera” into a TV series for the ABC Family Channel. They will direct, write and produce a series inspired by the film, a story of coming of age and culture clash in L.A.'s Echo Park.
“Sensational” tells the story of Flynn's dalliance with Beverly Aadland, a girl who was being pushed into a movie career by her mother, a wannabe actress whose aspirations were cut short after an accident. After Flynn collapsed and died at a party, the affair became a tabloid staple, and the girl's mother found herself on trial for child abuse.
Elysa Koplovitz is producing “Sensational.”
Look for Delvin Irwin in a small role in the film!

Flynn with Faye Emerson outside the Flynn-Decker Art Gallery. Michael Curtiz has his back to the camera. I don't know who the other two guys are. The painting (photograph?) between Flynn and Emerson is allegedly John Decker's portrait of Mrs. Decker but I have no way of verifying that info. The unguarded look on Flynn's face tells a story of its own. His expression shows pure affection.

Silver River candid

Flynn with Nora at the premier of Silver River, downtown Hollywood. I don't remember which theater. This is the type of still that makes collecting so much fun. Candid photographs like this are a window in time. Look at the faces in the crowd – charming. It all makes me wish I had been there. And is that little girl Deirdre?
