It's too bad people unfairly accused Errol Flynn of deliberately avoiding military service, since he tried very hard to join the military, but was too ill to pass the physicals. <br /><br />The studio kept his medical issues a deep, dark secret of course, because it would affect their profit margins if people knew that he was actually not the physically perfect person he was portrayed to be. So this ultimately set him up to look like a draft dodger.Paul 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11500682719536011343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-64652693192102296712011-07-05T10:51:50.419-04:002011-07-05T10:51:50.419-04:00#5(c) This one is Blue Skies - nominated for musi...#5(c) This one is Blue Skies - nominated for music score and best song (but didn't win).<br /><br />Well, JoAnn, perhaps it is an abstract art outfit -- it's on the pants too!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-57478295474872020112011-07-05T04:27:23.596-04:002011-07-05T04:27:23.596-04:00P.S.

So it is quite possible that Niven joined others in believing that Errol was a cowardly and self-serving so-and-so who didn't care about anyone but himself, particularly because Niven spent much of WWII in mortal danger as a commando.<br /><br />Oh yeah, you're right about #4, lol!

Do you know why Niven did that?!<br /><br />Love Flynn picture -- but what is that bizarre outfit? Looks like it has a floral pattern! Hopefully it isn't flowers, but perhaps he was painting the yacht and got paint splashed on him!<br /><br />Oh yeah, the quiz: #4 is Towering Inferno and Somebody Up There Likes Me.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-31652251787892321092011-07-04T17:20:34.226-04:002011-07-04T17:20:34.226-04:00Welcome Grand Old Movies!
