Bailiffs seize Errol's car

Rome, Wednesday

Film star Errol Flynn sat;

gloomily in his flat last night pondering on the avalanche that has hit his company ."Errol Flynn's Enterprises."

For yesterday bailiffs moved in on his big: color film, "William Tell," now on location in the Valley D'Aosta, Italy.

They seized his sports car, and took over the three-quarters finished

film, the costly camera equipment, costumes, and scenery.

The company, it is alleged, has not paid salaries, hotel bills, or

tradesmen.

About £66,000 is needed to save the film, but after a day of emer-gency moves there was no sign last night of Errol Flynn getting it.

Producer Brian Mahon said last night that the trouble was caused by the failure of the Italian pro motors to put up all the money they haJ promised.-"Argus" Service.
