The man had it looks brains and talent, he live life the he wanted. Sure its sad to see someone like flynn go from being a star in hollywood in his heyday. But his later years were the ones his critics saw as his best work in films. He was getting work again when his health failed him. The Man is a legend and his films are some of best remembered to this day thats his legacy. R.I.P. Errol Flynn.
I've always liked Error Flynn for his sense of humor and delivering lines in his movies..not to take anything away from his great looks and superior physique, I just enjoyed his comraderie with all those who came in contact with him.. A true human being, and being human, a true flawed one..so to speak.. "get me Geisler"..in response to a lawyer that he needed in his hopes to avert scandal that was donned on him in '43..not saying it was true or not about these young gals..but strangely familiar of today and celebrities being accosted and or accused.. R.I.P. Errol..Olivia is still in love with you..
He had 6 sexually transmitted diseases. The warts were so numerous and so large, in fact, that the city’s chief pathologist, Tom Harmon, painstakingly removed them and preserved the specimens in formaldehyde with an eye of having them serve as a teaching aid to future generations of British Columbia doctors.
I give my thanks for sharing the video, this spoof is interesting and amusing to view. From what I have read in a biography by Mr. McNulty, Mr. Knotts commented that he saw Mr. Flynn sad with his hands covering his face after they finished airing this. That does make me concern what troubled Mr. Flynn.
Being an avid fan of the real TTT, this parody was hilarious!! So clever and funny. Great job by both the "liars" and the panel of judges. The judges captured the people they were impersonating SO well, especially Tom Poston as Ralph Bellamy. Genius!
My Dad turned me and my kid brother on to Errol Flynn back in the very early 60's. He said sit down and watch this movie with me. We did and we loved it! It was "The Adventures of Robin Hood" After that movie, we had to watch everything and anything Errol Flynn was in. My Dad was like Errol Flynn in a way. He was a Fencing instructor and taught all over in Connecticut, including Yale. He was very good looking like Errol Flynn. We all enjoyed the home movies of my Dad fencing and he was an excellent Horse back rider.. Errol Flynn was like a "Superman", or "Bat Man" to us. He was the greatest. When my Dad told us that he had passed, we were shocked. How can a man like this die? And he was young, only 50. Wow... I guess that's what happens when you over indulge with alcohol.⛪🛐✝💘 I know his life didnt end there on October 14th, 1959.. He went on to Heaven where he continues his life. God Bless you Errol Flynn
It was a pleasure to watch the great Errol Flynn along with Steve Allen's talented cast of loonies in this satire of To Tell The Truth. His career at this stage was on the way back up when he appeared on Steve's show. He should have been nominated by the Academy for The Sun Also Rises. He was also marvelous in Too Soon, Too Much.
I've no doubt Errol needed the money- he was also on What's My Line, Red Skelton and the Colgate Comedy Hour. it doesn't mean he didn't enjoy clowning on these shows. And he plugs his movies. The studio may have arranged these appearances. .
How Awesome!!!. It was made the year after I was born and from what I have found through goggle it was on the air until 1968. But I have no memory of it and my memory is still good.
@@sharksport01 he was also very handsome ... like you meeting a girl who is really into you and she's a 10 and bi with a bi friend who wants to come along....he wasn't just a daddy Warbucks
I am surprised to see anything with Erol Flynn and Don Knotts together but.... Holy shit! The guy at 4:20 is Tom Poston, who I remember from Mork and Mindy.
Eroll flynn true genius Eroll he himself doesn't know he is a brilliant actor He only acts 4 money But the fans rate him No 1 He is excellent in war movies swashbuckling movies spy movies His sword fighting is no 1 Indian swashbuckling actor rajan voted eroll no 1 and the best in sword fighting To day in Hollywood u can't and never will find a actor liked eroll flynn and never will
He recorded a sketch on the Red Skelton programme just before his death: he must have been desperate for money at that time to agree to (or seek to) perform in such rubbish.
@@None-zc5vg As a genre and medium, neither comedy nor tv are in themselves "rubbish." Flynn wrote a great autobiography; he was a cultured man, son of a professor. He took on the artistic challenges of doing tv improv comedy, and succeeded. And they were a great venue to promote his films.
Jennie Smith, Tom Poston, Martha Raye & Don Adams on the panel. Louis Nye & Don Knotts with the real Errol Flynn in the middle. This must have been from Steve's television show. Rare clip of Flynn about two years before his passing.
No his name is Barney something or other from some little shit town in the south. I believe he's some local yocal kinda deputy in a 2 cop town. Definitely small time. Prolly has less authority than a mall cop lol.
Her name was Rita Gam. She was a model turned actress, fairly popular in the 50s and early 60s. She was never very famous, but worked pretty steadily. She passed away about two years ago.
By 1957 in his career he had not "fallen," much less "far." As he says in this show, he had just finished filming a Hemingway film and was about to play John Barrymore in the film Too Much, Too Soon, where he, perfectly cast, shone, as when he recited a Shakespeare passage brilliantly. But here visibly his former youthful health had fallen, as from alcohol and tobacco; he looks a bit bloated and tired.
I'm nearly 30 years oldet than Flynn must have been back then (47/48?I) yet.to me he looks older than I do. Maybe that had as much to do with his features ( a large jaw, for one) as from the booze, drugs and the burning-the-candle).
I liked Errol Flynn's expression when Steve said "I've been married three times."
This is funnier than anything on tv today:)
RIP and long live Errol Flynn (June 20, 1909 - October 14, 1959), aged 50
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Errol Flynn
, born from a fairy tale. He really was all his characters in some way!!! ♥ the best man in action!
The man had it looks brains and talent, he live life the he wanted. Sure its sad to see someone like flynn go from being a star in hollywood in his heyday.

His accent and cadence are lovely to listen to
If only comedy was this good now. At least we still have videos like this.
Errol Flynn is beautiful
He had 6 sexually transmitted diseases. The warts were so numerous and so large, in fact, that the city’s chief pathologist, Tom Harmon, painstakingly removed them and preserved the specimens in formaldehyde with an eye of having them serve as a teaching aid to future generations of British Columbia doctors.
Don Knotts once again shows he's a comedic genius.
Errol Flynn is one of the few movie stars, historically, whose life off-screen was more interesting, than, his life onscreen.
I would like to check them out.
Quite right, having studied Eroll from 1959 to the present day, I feel I am more than qualified to answer any questions....
Patrick Gallimore I think he's the one and only
This must be a comedy special
Especially before he came to hollywood

What a treasure thank you so much for posting this. I'm only 61 but I know every star on this show. Don Knots was hilarious even back then.

Ditto, and likewise. And this was before Tom Poston was on the real TTTT, if I'm not mistaken.
Great to see the stars again. What a time machine. I'm glad Errol lived a full life. It gives me hope.Good video from Sacramento
Hilarious send-up of the original _To Tell The Truth_ panel -- what fun!! :D

What a cast!
Thanks so much for posting this. It was a scream!!!
Classic skit with great characters! Errol Flynn was truly a man of action off and on screen.
And since nobody's mentioned him, the first "Errol Flynn" was Louis Nye. Nye, Poston and Knotts were regulars on the show.
That was the old Steve Allen show on opposite Ed Sullivan Sundays at 8, causing many household arguments over which to watch.
I loved Louis Nye on the Beverly Hillbillies!
Thanks for this gem of info
Thanks for posting. I love, love Errol Flynn, and "Barney," too! This was so funny!
Excellent !
I've no doubt Errol needed the money- he was also on What's My Line, Red Skelton and the Colgate Comedy Hour. it doesn't mean he didn't enjoy clowning on these shows. And he plugs his movies. The studio may have arranged these appearances. .

so very great.....first gal is Rita Gam..movie actress.
Thank you
Third one was Martha Raye
Errol Flynn could indeed "drive a truck in the Bronx," and make it credible.
A true legend, In like Flynn, a true definition of Swagger, Robert Mitchum was a close 2nd on the Swagger.
In two short years later, Errol would be gone at only 50 years old
He was a mans man and such a man's candle is always shorter than he who never gets off the couch.
@@thetrumpnewsnetwork7503 he had 6 sexually transmitted diseases.
@@noonespecial4171 so doesn't your mom
@@thetrumpnewsnetwork7503 get back in your mother's basement little boy.
@@noonespecial4171 You sound triggered. Did you lose your Binky?
That's Don Knotts as Errol Flynn number 3.
Portrayer of "Barney Fife" and "The Incredible Mr. Limpit" ... here staunchly sticking to his story that he's Errol Flynn, heavyweight boxer ad astra.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
This was one of Steve Allen's funniest bits.
A spoof of one of TV's longest running game shows ("To Tell The Truth").
The script of this skit is in both of Steve Allen's memoirs, "Mark It Or Strike It" and "Hi-Ho Steverino".
1name Johnny Depp reminds me of Errol Flynn he could play the part of him perfectly 🤺🎥💯
Maybe "The Errol Flynn Story" will become Johnny Depp's comeback film.
‘Australian Crawl’ a 80’s Aussie band have a great song about Flynn ..called ‘Errol’
it’s on RUclips. What a bloody legend.
he had 6 sexually transmitted diseases. Yeah, top legend. Gonna follow in his footsteps?
@@noonespecial4171How do you know that he’s got 6 STD’s??
I saw a biography on Don Knotts, and as strange as it seems, he was was quite the ladies man... seriously... women loved him
$$$
@@sharksport01 he was also very handsome ... like you meeting a girl who is really into you and she's a 10 and bi with a bi friend who wants to come along....he wasn't just a daddy Warbucks

Newhart and also Grace Under Fire.
@@andresuston7692 I was gonna say Newhart :)
"How do you go about finding the oysters who have the pearls in them"?
"It's easy. You look for the married ones, they're already irritated"!
That’s great!

Icarus Flynn, he flew too close to the sun.......
Flynn perfect riposte--he "need[s] a publicity agent, like Yul Brynner [bald actor] needs a haircut."
Funny! So glad we have footage of all this.
Really Weird Show! Errol is always great
I love Martha Raye. She and Don should've had a romantic comedy show.
I can only assume that Flynn was flat broke to agree to go on this show.
John T Is it not The Steve Allen Show? Showbiz and Hollywood people were never far away.
He recorded a sketch on the Red Skelton programme just before his death: he must have been desperate for money at that time to agree to (or seek to) perform in such rubbish.

And Martha Raye
Rita gam was beautiful

Sad stuff to see Flynn reduced to doing this at the end of his life.
Omg is that mr ferley from threes company?
Don Knotts was quite famous before Three's Company.
Yes.
@@nancymanili510 Yes; he starred in a feature film, The Incredible Mister Limpet.
Who is the first judge?? "polly want a cracker?" i am obsessed with her style and presence!!
Actress Rita Gam, earlier a friend of Grace Kelly.
ironic that tom poston subsequently became a stalwart panelist on to tell the truth.
The live audiences always liked him and cheered him like he was a big star. I always liked him too back then.
Hah! Barney Fife as Errol Flynn!
SNL before there was SNL. 😂
That little guy is Don Knotts
It's nots Don.
its Aunt Bea.
Don Adams, Martha Raye, who are the others
Tom Posten who was married to Suzanne Pleshette and I have no idea who the first woman was.
Cyn Man
The first woman was actress Rita Gam. She passed away about two years ago.
Olympic boxer?? Pull the other one! And that's Don Addams on the panel.
he died before current movie was made. he was only 50.
He did complete his current movie, Too Much, Too Soon. Viewable on RUclips.
Was that Don knotts?🤣
It's Nots Don. Yes, it is Mr Knotts.
No his name is Barney something or other from some little shit town in the south. I believe he's some local yocal kinda deputy in a 2 cop town. Definitely small time. Prolly has less authority than a mall cop lol.
Relatively a young man but booze aged and destroyed a Greek God.
Tasmanian
Actually at the time of his death the average age for a man to pass was around that age maybe lower. We've made incredible strives in medicine
@@thetrumpnewsnetwork7503 Nah. He was a piss head.
Older than that!!
I guess the first female panel guest is not Jennie Smith but Gogi Grant!?
Her name was Rita Gam. She was a model turned actress, fairly popular in the 50s and early 60s. She was never very famous, but worked pretty steadily. She passed away about two years ago.
His voice was a dead giveaway. Her was hot back in the day.
Very funny and Rita is pretty hot.
Sad commentary on a man who had fallen so far from where he once had been...but he had only himself to blame.
Perfect db! He had more beautiful tail than u`ve J/O`d morty & thats just the start.
By 1957 in his career he had not "fallen," much less "far."

Ok 🤪🤪🤪🤪
It's actually sad to see how Errol Flynn became a parody of himself. Relentless boozing does that.
thats a ripoff of to tell the truth or not
*parody
What a STUPID show! Obviously, the one with the most Respectful Claps Is the "person"! How could a "celebrity panel" NOT Know who Flynn Was!
