Sa mère était fille d’un capitaine de navire et dès sa jeunesse, le jeune Errol se sent attiré par le monde de la mer et de la navigation. Après avoir exercé divers métiers, Errol Flynn parvient enfin en 1930 à investir ses économies dans une petite goélette, le “Sirocco “, avec laquelle il fait du cabotage le long des côtes. Le cinéaste australien Charles Chauvel l’engage pour interpréter le rôle de Fletcher Christian, le second du “ Bounty” dans Dans le sillage du Bounty. Deux ans plus tard, en 1935, c’est Clark Gable qui jouera ce rôle dans la version de la M.G.M. réalisée par Frank Lloyd avec Franchot Torre et Charles Laughton. Errol Flynn part à Londres et tourne Murder at Monte Carlo. Jack Warner, le patron de la Wamer Bros, le remarque et lui fait signer un contrat. C’est le début d’un fulgurante carrière pour le comédien. Errol Flynn devient l’une des principales vedettes de la Warner Bros et, après Michael Curtiz, c’est Raoul Walsh qui va devenir son réalisateur fétiche. En 1946, il publie un roman autobiographique Showdown. Mais la vie d’Hollywood l’ennuie de plus en plus et Errol Flynn préfère dès lors sillonner les côtes à bord de son nouveau yacht, le “ Zaca”. Hollywood commence aussi à se désintéresser de lui. Il réalise en 1952 deux petits documentaires Cruise of the Zaca et Deep Sea Fishing et tourne de plus en plus en Europe. Le brutal arrêt de William Tell que réalisait Jack Cardiff est pour lui une véritable catastrophe financière. En 1958, Errol Flynn joue le rôle de John Barrymore dans Une femme marquée. La même anneé, son apparition au théâtre dans The Master of Thornfield se solde par un échec. Le 14 octobre 1959, Errol Flynn meurt à Vancouver d’une crise cardiaque, miné par la maladie et l’alcool. Son autobiographie My Wicked, Wicked, Wicked Ways paraîtra la même année.

Essex .5 Synopsis En l’an 1191, le roi Richard Cœur-de-Lion, parti pour les Croisades, a été fait prisonnier par Léopold d’Autriche, qui demande un million d’écus de rançon... Mais à la Cour de Nottingham, son frère, le prince Jean, qui s’est assuré la complicité du seigneur Guy de Gisbourne, tient à garder le pouvoir. Robin de Loxsley, archer de grande valeur, se refuse à reconnaître l’autorité de l’usurpateur. Recherché activement, il se réfugie dans la forêt de Sherwood avec quelques compagnons dont Petit-Jean, Willy l’Écarlate et Frère Tuck. Ensemble, ils recrutent des hommes fidèles à Richard et organisent la résistance. Les révoltés font prisonnier Gisbourne et sa suite venus récolter les impôts. Robin décide d’envoyer le butin ainsi recueilli en Autriche, pour payer la rançon de Richard. Ce geste lui attire la sympathie de Lady Marian, qui accompagnait Gisbourne. Peu après, enfin libéré, le roi Richard refait son apparition. Avec l’aide de Robin, il parviendra à récupérer son trône, tandis que Gisbourne sera tué en duel. Le prince Jean sera condamné à l’exil et Robin, promu baron, épousera Marian avec la bénédiction du roi. A propos du film La légende de “Robin des Bois” fut adaptée une vingtaine de fois au cinéma. Citons celle de Douglas Fairbanks en 1922, réalisée par Allan Dwan, et celle produite par Walt Disney en 1952, Robin des Bois et ses compagnons, qui présentait la particularité d’avoir été t o u rnée dans la véritable forêt de Sherwood, en Angleterre. Plus près de nous, après avoir été la vedette d’un film réalisé en 1961, Richard Greene reprit le rôle pour la télévision, dans 165 épisodes d’un feuilleton demeuré très populaire. La présente version, commencée par William Keighley, fut terminée par Michael Curtiz à la suite du veto de Jack Warner, le patron du studio, et du producteur Hal Wallis. Le fait que Curtiz ait déjà dirigé Errol Flynn dans Capitaine Blood et La charge de la brigade légère ne fut sans doute pas étranger à cette décision. Un troisième r é a l i s a t e u r, B. Reeves Eason, célèbre directeur de seconde équipe avant-guerre, dirigea certaines scènes d’action. Les aventures de Robin des Bois fut l’un des premiers films en Technicolor et la plus coûteuse production Warner Bros d’avant-guerre. Il gagna trois Oscars : pour les décors, la musique et le montage. En 1991, Kevin Costner incarna un nouveau Robin des Bois sous la direction de Kevin Reynolds, tandis que Patrick Bergin en faisait autant dans une nouvelle version réalisée par John Irvin.

  • Written to Be the Introduction to a Book in the Wisconsin/Warner Bros Screenplay Series, General Editor Tino Balio, Published by the University of Wisconsin Press
    1981 Written to be the Introduction to a book in the Wisconsin/Warner Bros Screenplay Series, General Editor Tino Balio, published by the University of Wisconsin Press. These volumes reproduced classic Warner Bros scripts from the Warner Bros Archive at the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research with scholarly apparatus. Between the commissioning of this volume and its completion the series was cancelled. The script itself and associated stills cannot be reproduced without copyright permission. Since the piece was written, Warner Bros post-production files have been acquired by the Cinema Studies Library of the University of Southern California. It is likely that they close some of the questions here raised about the final form of the film. INTRODUCTION The Politics of the War Film Ian Jarvie 1. The Evolution of the Screenplay 2. Summary of the Story as Filmed 3. Production and Exploitation 4. Reception and Appraisal 5. Political Aftermath Objective Burma has both intrinsic and extrinsic interest to students of the motion picture. Intrinsically, it is a fine example of sustained and unrelieved treatment of combat within the restrictions of the war film genre. There is much to be learned from studying how the final screenplay emerged from the work of three writers and their producer, and from the further changes made by the director, technical advisor, and film editor during production and post-production. Initial confusion of aims is resolved as the option of a clean and unencumbered line of action is chosen. This enables the writers to clear sub-plots out of the excessively long draft screenplay and encourages further honing down during shooting and editing.

  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

  • UNCERTAIN GLORY (The Other Casablanca) for THOMAS Mcnulty- in Appreciation and Gratitude*
    UNCERTAIN GLORY (The other Casablanca) For THOMAS McNULTY- in appreciation and gratitude* Uncertain Glory is the 29th in the celluloid career of Errol Flynn. The only film of Flynn’s released for the year 1944 falling between Northern Pursuit and Objective Burma. The first of a series of seven films (ultimately amended to three) to be made by Flynn’s company, Thomson Productions, which was contracted to Warners both for use of facilities and release arrange-ments. It has the distinction of being the 5th of 8 films in which Flynn would die, along with Charge of the Light Brigade, Dawn Patrol, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, They Died With Their Boots On, Rocky Mountain, Too Much Too Soon, and The Roots of Heaven). And also the 4th of 5 dealing with the subject of World War 2- the others being Desperate Journey, Edge of Darkness, Northern Pursuit, and Objective Burma. It’s Flynn’s first important film post-trial. He’s in mid-career, and about 33 years old. He is vulnerable and changed. And the performance shows it- someone in transition, from a boyish attitude toward life into a man’s more serious focus (remember we’re speaking about Flynn: he still had his extra-curricular activities- only less of them). At about this time he was paying alimony and support, married**, LIVING WITH Nora, a father, working on the novel Showdown (writing always having a calming effect), and a recently successful USO and bond tour (meaning public acceptance). He chose this film as his next project, and it DID NOT capitalize on (although there are the usual references to a young man in search of feminine company) the rape trial (the ordeal actually started on 10/11/42 with 2 policemen coming to the house and culminated in an acquittal on 2/6/43) by suggesting the new image he would ultimately be saddled with.

Remembered as much for his scandals as his acting, there was another side to Errol: writer, war reporter and even devoted family man. THREE PARAGRAPH SYNOPSIS Tasmanian Devil: The Fast and Furious Life of Errol Flynn Fifty years after his death, people are still fascinated by Errol Flynn. The romantic star of dozens of Hollywood movies, Flynn’s real life was in fact far more adventurous than any of his films. In a life dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, Flynn became notorious for his love affairs, scandals and rebellious nature. But there was another, much less well known side to his character. He was a fine writer, both of novels and journalism, wrote well reviewed novels and reported from wars and revolutions.
