I just found the B&W nude shower picture of Errol Flynn, and will send
a copy to anyone who emails me. It is a very old B&W photo, not in
great condition--but it leaves nothing to the imagination, and answers
to some extent--no pun intended!--the question about Errol's size
posted here some time ago. BTW--I recently received a copy of "CUBA
STORY" the Errol Flynn-hosted Victor Pahlen documentary made in Cuba
during the Cuban Revolution, at around the same time Flynn was making
Cuban Rebel Girls. Has anyone else seen it? The dvd has a printed
Introducion that makes some outrageous and illogical claims--among
them that Errol abandoned Beverly Aadland in Cuba to fight the forces
of Batista on her own... and that she is "conspicuously absent from
[the film] Cuba Story" when in fact she is clearly seen arriving in a
car with Errol and Beverly's mother, Florence, at a casino where both
she and Errol are seen gambling sitting side by side! But, there's
much more! The author of this nonsense goes on to say that Beverly was
"trapped for days withoout food, water or electricity, while the
rebels raped and killed their way through the city,[finally managing]
to rescue six families before asking George Raft to help her escape".
Can you believe that? Errol has three major scenes wrapped around the
documentary portions and appears breifly in casino footage and in
stills. The documentary is Victor Pahlen's work, who narrates--the
Introduction claims it is Errol who narrates! Idiot!--and his film is
powerful and interesting, though slanted towards Castro, as was the
favor of the United States at this time. If Errol could only have seen
what Castro was really up to! Flynn must have thought him a modern
Robin Hood. Here is Errol, on a romp! He is obviously very ill--and if
not drunk, then high on something. His narration is off-the-cuff and
not well-rehearsed--but is Errol as he was in those days and worth
seeing if just for that. Regards, David~
