Check out the Shelf tomorrow- Flynn is naturally the Shelf pick of the week (and I'll be picking up my copy of the set tomorrow as well!) The first volume was one of the best sets of 2005 and I am very pleased to see Gentleman Jim and Charge of the Light Brigade as part of this new set.
By the way, the documentary was excellent in Vol. 1. Olivia deH. almost seemed to be blushing at times talking about Flynn.
I'll be looking forward to your Roundup!! I haven't seen any of the Flynn films in this new set. I really enjoyed the previous set, including the documentary. I found DeHavilland's reminisces very touching.
My father is buying this one so I'll be seeing it sometime down the road...we try to split our purchases and share to save money. I just bought the Literary Classics set, and the Tyrone Power set is also on my buy list in a few weeks! :)
Best wishes, Laura
My kids are simply mad about Errol Flynn. The Sea Hawk is one of their faves. They'll be happy to hear about these two film collections.
Have your children read any of Sabatini's books yet? My daughter really got into THE SEA HAWK and his other books (CAPTAIN BLOOD, SCARAMOUCHE, etc.) as a young teen. She says they're not always very much like the movies, but they're very entertaining. I haven't read them yet myself.
Hope you all enjoy these new releases! Flynn is popular in our house as well. :)
Best wishes, Laura
