...Shaffer's opulent play-are well managed by Director Irving Lerner in a style that might be called Eisenstein modern, and devotees of the Hollywood spectacular will cherish the bravado of the two leading actors. Robert Shaw bellows and glowers in his ornate armor like a psyched-up Errol Flynn. Christopher Plummer, in cloak, loincloth, gold necklaces and flowing hair, looks like the lead singer of a particularly exotic rock group, and his attempts at a Peruvian dialect occasionally make him sound like one. His performance is unabashed camp, consisting about equally of ego, bluff and plain old Spam...
OTHELLO, Shakespeare's valiant Moor, is played by Errol Hill and directed by Rod Alexander, and THE ROYAL HUNT OF THE SUN, Peter Shaffer's drama about the confrontation of an aging, existentialist Pizarro and the proud Peruvian Incas stars Rod Alexander and is directed by Errol Hill.

The Custer cult was heightened in 1941, when Errol Flynn played him as a bold unfortunate in Warner Bros.' They Died with Their Boots On. In this new film, Custer's misbegotten career is further enhanced. Robert Shaw plays Yellow Hair as a soulful glory seeker. Lawrence Tierney is a feisty General Phil Sheridan, Jeffrey Hunter a conscientious Lieut. Benteen and Robert Ryan a deserter named Mulligan, who was shot before...
...keep the record straight for future generations, I feel it my duty to point out that in the movie Desperate Journey, Errol Flynn returned a rebuilt Lockheed Hudson bomber to the British and did not hijack a Nazi bomber as you reported. In either case, I'm sure this action shortened the war considerably...
