‘Nuff said.
One of the Kings of the Technicolor process, Errol Flynn appeared in a dozen three-strip productions, starring in all but one.
Which are currently available?
Here you go:
1938 The Aventures of Robin Hood – Warner Archive
1939 Dodge City – Warner Brothers
Private Lives of Elizabeth & Essex – Warner Archive
1941 Dive Bomber – Warner Archive – DVD
1945 San Antonio – Warner Archive – DVD
1948 The Adventures of Don Juan – Warner Archive
1949 It’s a Great Feeling – Warner Achieve – DVD
That Forsyte Woman – Warner Archive – DVD
1950 Montana – Warner Archive – DVD
Kim – Warner Archive – DVD
1952 Against All Flags – Universal via Kino
1953 Master of Ballantrae – Warner Archive – DVD
All of them, in one format or another.
Where does Don Juan fit in the Flynn overview.
I’ve always found it to be lesser Flynn, with a few interesting action sequences, but in this new Archive release, the three-strip steps to the fore.
That noted, I’d love to see Warner do a new scan of The Master of Ballantrae, Mr. Flynn’s final Technicolor outing, a UK production, and the final film of William Keighley.
For Flynn and Three-strip collectors, without a doubt.
