Flynn's Film Noir
6 February 2013
Warning: Spoilers
*Spoiler/plot- The Big Boodle, 1957. An American casino card dealer in Cuba gets involved in accidental passing of 'funny money'. He doesn't want to be included and does his best to protect himself.

*Special Stars- Errole Flynn, Rossana Rory, Pedro Armendariz, Jacques Aubuchon.

*Theme- Sometimes life takes you for a ride despite your protests.

*Trivia/location/goofs- Film Noir, B&W. Second to last Flynn film made before his early death at 50 years old. Filmed entirely in pre-Castro Cuba.

*Emotion- Film Noir was all the rage in Hollywood and so was Cuba as a exotic island film location. Mr. Flynn wad his sailing boat and some homes in the local are around Cuba. The script is extremely well written, acted, and casted with Mr. Flynn. This film is a gem despite it's strange title.
