Subject: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Big Al Whittle Date: 06 Apr 06 - 01:40 PM I was watching Errol Flynn as General Custer for the umpteenth time on TCM and I couldn't help noticing Errol's willy in the very tight trousers he wore in that first scene at West Point. Must have used sellotape, or a banana. i wonder do any of you Hollywood buffs know the truth about this display of the Flynn family jewels? Did this escape the censors, or was this a piece of self advertisement/exhibitionism from Flynn. Or on the other hand did some studio boss think it would be a great gimmick? My interest is purely salacious. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Little Hawk Date: 06 Apr 06 - 01:43 PM Errol Flynn was an egomaniac who wore his willy on his sleeve for all the world to see, so I suspect it was intentional on his part. He probably stuffed his trousers with something, as you suggest. That's an entertaining movie if you can totally suspend historical authenticity and just go along for the ride. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: The Shambles Date: 06 Apr 06 - 02:17 PM The phrase 'in like Flynn' would appear then to refer to something entering at the third or forth attempt after a considerable amount of re-adjustment..............? |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: gnu Date: 06 Apr 06 - 02:34 PM I will pay handsomely to anyone who tapes that movie and sends me a copy... IF... there is a rendition of Garryowen in it. That is, the entire song being sung. Or, if you know how I might obtain a copy, or rent one, or whatever, I would be forever in your debt. Well, I'll thank you greatly. Anyone knowe any other sources of a recording of Garryowen being sung? |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: gnu Date: 06 Apr 06 - 03:13 PM The Garryowen lads were never rendered. General Custer was rendered.... custered, even. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Les in Chorlton Date: 06 Apr 06 - 03:15 PM Well, I guess I have to lob this one in. What was 6 inches long with an arrow throught he end? Custer's last stand Childish I know but old enough to be trad. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Big Al Whittle Date: 06 Apr 06 - 03:39 PM Gnu - I will send it you next time its on. its on about every two weeks. I was going to dvd it this time, but I missed the opening credits. However I note so far no one has the inside story on Errol's display. I bet that's the ultimate flasher's fantasy - you do a flash and nearly seventy years later - people are still going - did you SEE THAT! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Little Hawk Date: 06 Apr 06 - 04:20 PM "In like Flynn" means...in within a fraction of a second, in without hesitation, most definitely absolutely and without question IN! It does not mean "in at the third or fourth attempt". That would be "in like Dick Nixon". If you lined up all the women Errol Flynn was "in", the line would stretch from here to Jupiter. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Stilly River Sage Date: 06 Apr 06 - 04:47 PM Did you see James Coburn's In Like Flint? (There were two films with the Flint character, can't remember the other name). |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: GUEST,Wesley S Date: 06 Apr 06 - 05:02 PM "In like Flint" was the sequal to "Our Man Flint". Has anyone else heard a story that Erroll Flynn was at a party and played the piano with his willie ? Not full chords of course - just one note at a time. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Rapparee Date: 06 Apr 06 - 10:55 PM The fillm is probably "They Died With Their Boots On" since this was apparently the only film in which Flynn played Custer. Info and some pictures here. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Stilly River Sage Date: 06 Apr 06 - 11:14 PM In uniform Willie or won't he? The oddest fan(?) site I've seen, including any Shatner sites. Whew! A quote about the source of "In Like Flynn" from a family web site here.
And finally, here's a quote from Walter Cronkite's wife: "Errol Flynn died on a 70-foot boat with a 17-year-old girl. Walter has always wanted to go that way, but he's going to settle for a 17-footer with a 70-year-old." -- Betsy Maxwell Cronkite I guess this is enough Errol Flynn trivia.* SRS *Bonus: I came across a site for Photos of the Day that included Jayne Mansfield in Paris. What's interesting about this is that the woman photographer is equally as interesting as Jayne. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Purple Foxx Date: 07 Apr 06 - 12:22 AM Errol's was 12 inches long. But he didn't use it as a rule. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: The Shambles Date: 07 Apr 06 - 05:29 AM The movie My Favourite Year is based on the life of a Hollywood 'hellraiser' and most probably Mr Flynn. In this - the part was played by Peter O Toole. My favourite scene is set in a TV studio when the character is holding the said part in his hand as he rushes to enter the ladies powder room to have a leak. A lady coming out, tells him that it is for ladies. To which he replies - 'and so madam - is this. I just have to pass some water through it first'.......................... |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Bat Goddess Date: 07 Apr 06 - 08:05 AM Back in the mists of time (early 1970s) after watching a LOT of Errol Flynn on late night TV (back when I watched TV) and, of course, many viewings of "They Died With Their Boots On"), I wrote a parody of "Garyowen" -- "Instead of water we'll drink ale And watch Errol Flynn and Alan Hale And never til the cable fail Will we get to bed before morning." I also made an audio tape (Channel 6 could be gotten of radio) of the film -- mostly for the many renditions of "Garyowen". If that tape is still in existance, my ex-husband has it. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 07 Apr 06 - 09:45 AM I enjoyed the movie. Errol Flynn's role as Custer was spoiled by the usual historical blunders by Hollywood. His fighting equipment at the Big Horn were two presentation grade 1876 RIC Webley Revolvers and RIC holsters, with is trusty Remington No. 1 50/70 Sporting Rifle. Yours, Aye. Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: GUEST,buspassed Date: 07 Apr 06 - 12:31 PM Didn't Custer decline to wait for the Gatling guns which were on the way before he left for the Little Big Horn away game as they would only slow him down! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 07 Apr 06 - 01:57 PM Yes, he made a grave error (no pun intended) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Rapparee Date: 07 Apr 06 - 02:04 PM His troopers also left their sabers behind, not that they would have done much good anyway. Lots of troopers survived the Little Big Horn fight, you know. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Cluin Date: 07 Apr 06 - 02:12 PM Apparently Flynn was famously endowed, both in proportion and endurance, if the testimony of one of the witnesses at his famous statutory rape trial is to be believed. There was also a rumour he used cocaine on his dick to prolong an erection. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: gnu Date: 07 Apr 06 - 02:46 PM Crack cocaine? |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: gnu Date: 07 Apr 06 - 02:58 PM Linn... "... many renditions of "Garyowen"." Oh? Different arrangements, I assume? And, I like the parody verse. w.l.drummer... I would appreciate that greatly as long as it's not too much trouble. In the meantime, what is the name of the movie? I might be able to find it locally and save you the bother. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Little Hawk Date: 07 Apr 06 - 03:00 PM Custer instructed the troopers to leave their sabers behind (highly unusual!) because he wanted stealth...he felt that the sabers might clank while on the ride, make noise, and alert the Indians to the column's approach. They would have been helped out some in that fight if they had had the sabers...a weapon which the Indians did not relish fighting against in close combat. Custer specialized in surprise attacks on sleeping villages, generally launched in the pre-dawn hours or just at dawn. He didn't do that because he was a coward, by the way, he did it because it worked. It had worked very well in the past at the Washita, for instance. Because of these sudden, vicious dawn attacks one tribe named him "Son of the Morning Star". Another named him "Creeping Panther Who Attacks at Dawn". I trust the names did not contain as many syllables in the Native tongues! ;-D He had hoped to creep up on the Lakotas in a similar manner, but it didn't work out that way. If it had, he might well have won the ensuing battle...but that's a matter of pure speculation. In any case, when they did find the village they were not close enough to launch an attack until around midday. Custer further made the error of dividing a force which was only barely adequate for the task into three separate groups which could not support each other. This was his truly fatal error. The first column, under Major (?) Reno, did hit the camp by surprise, but given the fact that hundreds of warriors were in the vicinity, fully awake and ready to fight at a moment's notice, Reno was first stopped in his tracks and then driven back in total confusion by the Indian counterattack, which was mostly on foot. Reno's column was lucky to survive at all, and took heavy losses. They dug in in a wooded area and hung on. Benteen, meanwhile had been sent on a fruitless reconaissance way off to one side, and did not join the fighting until some time later. They too were forced to dig in to save themselves. Custer led the third column in an assault on the center of the camp. The fight with Reno had already erupted before Custer's column reached the river, and this had alerted several thousand veteran warriors to the presence of white troopers. Custer's attempt to cross the river was repulsed...some (disputed) sources suggest that Custer himself fell to a shot at the edge of the river, and that this stopped the charge in its tracks. If so, he was gravely wounded, but not yet dead. Crazy Horse and Gall led Native horsemen in a counterattack that enveloped Custer's column from in front and from both sides and drove it up the hills to the "last stand" area. In that place Custer's entire column were surrounded and wiped out to the last man. Reno's and Benteen's troops held out under siege in their dug-in positions for the next 24 hours, and the Lakota then packed up their stuff, struck the camp, and moved out. They had exterminated Mr Custer and about half his troopers, but they had won a pyrrhic victory in so doing, because it made the entire American white society determined to crush them once and for all in vengeance for Custer's death and the presumption of mere "savages" who would dare to wipe out an army column. That was accomplished in its inevitable fashion in the next couple of years. The free days of the Lakota were over and done after that. Custer was a bold, reckless, flamboyant man...rather like the character that Flynn depicted in the movie, and he went out in the fashion that suited his nature perfectly. It was just the way an Indian warrior would have wanted to go. They were flamboyant and reckless too. Custer had remarked before the mission that he was on his way to "a brevet (promotion) or a coffin". He seems to have had a fatalistic streak, and he may have had a presentiment that he was not going to survive the battle. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: fat B****rd Date: 07 Apr 06 - 03:14 PM Re Custer, the book "Son Of The Morning Star" by Evan S. Connell is a detailed and fascinating read. I don't know wether Flynn really had such a huge **** but I once read that he loved people to think so ATB from average but enthusiastic fB. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Little Hawk Date: 07 Apr 06 - 03:20 PM Yeah, it's a great book. There was a good TV movie made from it too, about a 4-hour epic. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: gnu Date: 07 Apr 06 - 03:21 PM Sorry about this, but... odd (ominous?) that the 7th led the Yanks into Iraq, into the "main camp", and have now been surrounded. I hope and pray not. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Little Hawk Date: 07 Apr 06 - 03:24 PM As a strong sympathizer with Crazy Horse, I have mixed reactions to the 7th Cavalry. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Apr 06 - 03:33 PM He didn't do that because he was a coward, by the way, he did it because it worked. And the fact that he was slaughtering civilian populations by using this stealth? It was cowardly to creep up on a sleeping village and slaughter the entire population including children and the elderly and non-warrior adults in order to avoid as much engagement with the warriors as possible. (I won't give the usual "women and children" list because there were some remarkable Indian women warriors over the years). I posted a link to a nude photo of Flynn earlier in this thread. You can decide for yourselves. I'd say he looks to be fairly typically endowed. Enough to do the job! |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: John O'L Date: 07 Apr 06 - 04:28 PM Just because it worked doesn't mean it wasn't cowardly too. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Little Hawk Date: 07 Apr 06 - 04:42 PM You misunderstand my meaning entirely, guys. I share your sense of outrage. I'm 100% pro-Idian in this. I hate the scum-sucking bastards in the cavalry! I detest what they did. However, I am under no illusions whatsoever that Custer was a coward. The man was ridiculously courageous in battle...not just sometimes...always. Read the Civil War histories about him if you don't believe it. Indians, by the way, normally attacked by stealth and surprise too, whenever possible. That was the smart thing to do. They did not announce themselves, saying "On Thursday we will attack your settlement. Come out and make it a good fight." And they massacred sleeping families. They did it to other Indian tribes too, frequently. They were equally bloody and ruthless as the whites, even more cruel sometimes when it came to torture...but...here's what does it for me...it was their land, and they weren't doing it for the money. They weren't doing it on behalf of rich powerbrokers and politicians in Washington. That's why I sympathize with them a whole lot more with them than I do with Custer and his lot. Their cause was more honorable. Honor is something I admire. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: Rapparee Date: 07 Apr 06 - 05:06 PM White forces tried to use early-morning attacks whenever possible, just as is considered good military tactics today. For instance, The Dull Knife Band was attacked at daylight on November 25, 1876; the battle of Palo Duro Canyon began at sunrise on September 28, 1974, and the battle at Steen Mountain (Silver Creek) began around 8:00 a.m. on June 23, 1878. Dawn is a traditional time for an attack no matter who you are attacking -- the defenders are generally less observant and tired, possibly hungry. And if you can attack East to West, with your back to the sun, it's even better. |

Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer From: The Shambles Date: 07 Apr 06 - 06:08 PM I once spent the nght in Custer. I remember it well as I had terrble case of the shits - after eating buffalo. I wonder how the shaping of an entire mountain into the Crazy Horse Monument getting on? As Custer has not a whole mountain shaped to his image (but only a rather unremarkable town named after him) I am sure this memorial would really piss Custer off................. Perhaps this is a good enough reason alone to carve this memorial to Crazy Horse? |
