Creditors Are In Full Cry

From A Staff Correspondent

in London

ERROL FLYNN, at present being hotly pursued in Italy by hordes of actors and film folk demand-ing money, declares they are "worse than angry women," according to a report from Rome.

FLYNN insists that

he is not to blame

for his "William Tell"

film unit going unpaid.

"Certain Italians who are

responsible for financing the film have run out on me," he says.

Meanwhile however,

truckloads of penniless

actors and technicians are chasing Flynn ali over Italy for their money. They have not been paid for six weeks -ever since finances went bust in an alpine village near Mont Blanc, Italy, where they were then on location.

Looking somewhat shat-tered, bedraggled and-mid-dle-aged, Flynn declares he will do all he can to get pay

ment for all and also finish the picture, which experts

say would have . been a masterpiece. Jack Cardiff was directing, and Flynn was William Tell.

A magnificent £10,000

model town had been built. .
