Errol, along with Johnny Meyer, press agent for Warner Bros., begins his South American Tour that is sanctioned by Warner’s as a good will tour. Newspapers, fan magazines, telegrams and even radio broadcasts and shows provided a variety of times, places and events. A map is provided to try and consolidate the where and when of Errol’s visits.

After a portrait shoot … then traveling to New York City with wife Lily (Lili, if you prefer) … and all of the fanfare for the premiere of Captain Blood in three cities, including parties, restaurants and publicity stops … Errol’s month of December was filled to the brim with activities and excitement.
Enjoy!

The “backslap” case against Duncan McMartin that took place in the Bahamas in mid-March, 1952
To set the scene, we will begin about mid-February while Errol is in Los Angeles recuperating from a fractured bone in his foot. He was injured during the filming of AGAINST ALL FLAGS on Feb. 1st. The foot was placed in a cast and Errol was given a cane to get around.
The cast was to remain for about 6 weeks, so production was halted.
But … as usual, Errol does not slow down. We pick it from there.

A few more pages covering Flynn’s first motion picture debut in the U.S. Even Olivia, a newcomer, gets full coverage.

Taking a break from the book articles, I thought I would present some seldom seen magazine clips of Flynn during the days of Captain Blood.
(You gotta love Olivia in her pirate outfit,…never in the film of course)
Enjoy!

Brian Twist is one of the old hands in all things Errol Flynn! He writes today that he has launched a (terrific looking) new website of classic film posters and movie art and I want to share it with everybody!
He also has a new Facebook page: MOVIE SCENE …
Check out MOVIE SCENE on Facebook, too.
Thanks, Bri!

During the filming of THE SEA HAWK, which began on February 1st, Warner Bros. decides to take a break from production and present the premiere of VIRGINIA CITY in Nevada. A 17-car train with the film’s cast, along with reporters and guests leaves Burbank, Cal. about noon on March 15th. The affair is an outstanding success through the 17th. Then it is back to wok on THE SEA HAWK on Monday morning of the 18th.
