More Flynn . . .

A few more stills from the films of the dashing, devil-may-care Mr Flynn!

A great shot from "Captain Blood"!

Olivia . . .*sigh*

Olivia deHavilland with Flynn on her left and Warner's saphead go-to-guy Patrick Knowles on her right in a publicity still for "Charge of the Light Brigade". This was one of 3 films where Olivia ends up with Patrick Knowles at the end of the film, bleh!! Flynn gives a first-rate performance in this film and the final battle scene is incredible!

Flynn at his best in "The Adventures of Robin Hood", undoubtedly the role he is most associated with. Hands down this should have won the Best Picture Oscar in 1938! Interesting to note that co-Star Olivia deHavilland appeared in four technicolor films during 1938-39. This one, two other Flynn films and the fourth of course being "Gone with the Wind". I wonder if any other actress had appeared in that many color films during the 1930's?

There's Flynn with that Saphead again!

Flynn with another Warner's lovely, Brenda Marshall, in the "Sea Hawk". I dont rate this quite as high as "Captain Blood" but it's still a fine film with great production values, a terrific cast, excellent battle scenes, a rousing score and of course, Alan Hale!

How DARE YOU???

Patric Knowles may not have been as overtly dashing as Flynn, but he had looks, wit and intelligence. And possessed one of the sexiest mouths I have ever seen on an actor from that period in Hollywood.

Besides . . . Flynn's character was an asshole in "CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE".

Actually, I consider THE SEA HAWK to be superior to CAPTAIN BLOOD.
