Finally, note that anyone who saw this movie remembers well the archery contest which comes down to Errol Flynn in disguise and Owain the Welshman, but few people know that Owain was played by the world's greatest archer, Howard Hill, and that he also did Flynn's bow and arrow stunts shown in the movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never seen this really cool book before. It is a "fumetti", which means that it has 175 pictures from the film with captions under each, so that you can "see" the entire film by reading the book. The book is dated 1938, and it has a patent number on it, but no price. We initially suspected that it was a sample that was created for a proposed book that likely was never published, and this was further reinforced by the fact that it was once glued to something with areas of glue around the edges of the back cover and in the center, so it was likely mounted to a presentation board and would have had additional information about the book on the board. However, a collector contacted us to say that they have a copy of the book without the glue stains, so the book was certainly produced and available for purchase.
UPDATED 12/07/2015: Note that this book is from 1938 and NOT 1950 as the Auction Title initially indicated. We have also updated the Important Added Info section. Condition: good to very good. The program was glued to something, and there is glue and paper residue on the back cover (see above for more on this). There are some minor smudges on the cover. Otherwise, the book is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
