Sarah says not "to read too much into this. That they're charming, witty and smart is undeniable - but it's also television ....staged entertainment." "Staged entertainment"? ....Well, it's not like they were play-acting. Because it was television, the thought was that they should be on their best behavior. ....And, the point is, people were generally taught to behave in a classy way at least in certain circumstances. (Think of how young people behaved at school dances, etc., back in the Thirties and Forties when these particular people grew up.) ....My grandfather was in radio (WLW in Cincinnati) back in the Twenties and Thirties. Even appearing on a sound stage for RADIO, they were expected to dress up. It was thought that the act of dressing the part would affect your manner of speaking and general demeanor that was carried over the radio waves. No, this manner of behaving is not acting on the part of these people; this was the way they were raised to speak and behave in certain circumstances, especially in mixed company. The idea that this mode of behavior was somehow "inauthentic" is one of the by-products of the counter-culture of the Sixties. Being on "the national stage" (or even being in your local church or at a formal function at school or a dinner function at your place of employment) - but especially in a place with "ladies" present - was thought to be reason enough to 'dress up' and speak and comport oneself like a gentleman or a lady.

Given that Errol Flynn is soon to die after this appearance, knowing that he had so many things wrong with him, I think people should afford to give him some slack over his appearance and demeanour. Legends are not built out of common sense and doing the right thing, and you can't have the legend without the human faults & fallibilities. The legend is what people covet, that's the paradox! Just for a moment, here is Flynn in the flesh, not behind a movie screen, and you see something of the humanity of the man, albeit, desperately tortured and suffering. Give him a break!

Excellent and empathetic comment and from my point of view very close to the realities of Errol and his life at that time. However, I do not believe that he was drunk or that there was anything wrong with his demeanor. He was playing a part and trying to be cunning with his mannerisms and in his answers. He was indeed a legend and a man of extraordinary intelligence and spirit. They don't come along often and we were gifted with his presence.

Errol was in his last days here, and it seems like he had something going on. He was great in his day, and lived more in his 50 years than any 10 lifetimes. RIP Errol Flynn!!

1957 was my father's last full year. We didn't know on December 1 that he only had 3-1/2 months to live. He was operated on January 1, 1958 at Baylor Hospital in Dallas and was found to have inoperable lung cancer. We brought him back to Waco where he died on March 17, 1958, never got out of bed again. He was only 59. He had been a Buick dealer and loved the beautiful cars of the 50's and that era. He had also loved the cars of the 20's like Hupmobiles and Locomobiles when he and my mother were newly married. He was every inch a gentleman, always dressed to perfection. This is when I was in junior high. He would have killed a man had he known he'd hurt a lady. He couldn't have lived very far into the 60's as they would have been repellant to him. He would rather have died than to have done something to bring attention to himself in public and he always said you never discuss personal issues in public or talk about anything to do with sex when women are present. My mother lived another 39 years and died at 94 in 1997.

A legend

One of my favourite Flynn stories: "One of Flynn's lesser-known interests was horse riding, which led to him engaging in a fight with director Michael Curtiz... and also ended up having a huge impact on Hollywood right up to the present day. While filming The Charge of the Light Brigade in 1936, Curtiz shot the famous charge scene where he utilised tripwire to make horses fall over on cue. A sadly common but brutal filming technique that showed little regard for the health or well-being of the animals involved. The end result was 25 of these horses had to be put down. His leading man, Errol Flynn, was incensed by both the scene and by Curtiz's apparent lack of care. Furious, he attacked his director and did his level best to inflict damage on him before the two were pulled apart. This very scene was cited in the legal case that eventually banned the use of tripwire in filming a few years after this incident"

Errol Flynn may be one of the greatest movie stars whoever lived. This is not the dashing Flynn of Montana, Dodge City or the Adventures of Robin Hood.

Ron Pataki, former entertainment reporter for the Columbus Citizen Journal in Columbus Ohio is the last person to see Dorothy Kilgallen alive.

An era when people were intelligent and well spoken.

Errol was actually a bit shy so he seemed a bit nervous to me on the show. His eyes are focused away from the camera to his right. He was suave and funny for the times.

Mel Brooks says that Errol Flynn was the model for the Peter O'Toole character in "My Favorite Year," but that the actual plot is basically fiction. Brooks was not connected with the film but the film was based on various people involved with Sid Caesar, including a character that is a composite of Brooks with other writers, including Woody Allen.

John Huston in his excellent autobiography had some fascinating stories about Errol Flynn. Including an hour long fist fight the two had at a party, Flynn’s drinking, drug use and health and relationship with women.

Bennett missed a perfect pun- "ARRRlene Francis" (pirate voice)

Did I understand that Arlene thought that Dublin was in Scotland ? Holy Mother, that's my city and I come from Ireland !!

She thought both Dublin and Scotland were in England it seems, judging by a comment she made later "Is it someone else from England?" 😂

Yeah, that one was a wee bit rough. My grandmother was from Ireland, County Cork, but lived in Dublin before coming to USA. In all fairness, Arlene was off her game with the eye. I'm fairly certain she knows that Dublin is in Ireland. 😎💚

The person on the show with the toughest job of all is whoever erases the chalkboard. Imagine all the famous autographs that got erased!

Actually no erasing was done; it wasn't a chalkboard but a holder for sheets of black posterboard. There was a slot at the top so that a stagehand behind the scene could lift out a signed sheet to expose a fresh one behind it. At least once this was caught on camera. Some of the signed sheets were saved, and occasionally appear as collectors' items in online auctions.

I wonder if they kept a few of those signed chalkboards.

Errol Flynn superstitiously dreaded baldness. He used to rub vodka into his scalp to prevent it. This is why you almost never saw him wearing a hat unless he was acting. Maybe he was on to something: his liver gave out but not his hair.

Dorothy Kilgallen always has beautiful jewelry. Also, a good interrogator. Fun though!

Also, many watching may not realize that panelist Dorothy Kilgallen was believed to have died from 'foul play' after her revelations about what she learned from interviewing Jack Ruby.

@@oksills Even the Coroner's report at the time shed doubt on the circumstances. It did say overdose and lethal combination of alcohol and barbiturates, but it also stated there was no evidence of extended use (meaning that it was not habitual, at least of the Barbiturates).

Only Arlene Francis can make an eye patch look sexy as hell. It happened with her other eye as well, and she looked dashing. Same thing with the dark glasses when she sunburned her eyes.

Errol is Australian, so he had to disguise his voice, otherwise people would pick it straight away.Same when Sean Connery was on. Funny when the question about whether he was married, and the whole audience laughed. Still a good looking guy, considering the health problems he had. He is clearly not drunk here, why do people think that?

He came in like Flynn!
