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. .
