Who is more macho? David Niven or Earl Flynn.  |

I'll go with Errol Flynn, although he was more dashing than macho.

Definitely Flynn, he had a unmatchable style and pizzazz..
I think a more formidable opponent to Flynn would be Fred Astaire..

I'll go with Errol Flynn too based on movie after movie... I think that pic is from "Dawn Patrol" (one of my favorite oldies) since it features genuine "golden age" aircraft... And, in that venue, it's about a dead tie between Flynn and Niven. Both great actors, and in THIS flick, a fantastic match. I wouldn't have relished being "the Hun in the sun" in my Fokker, facing the guns of either of these guys had it been real life...

David Niven was pretty macho in the Charge of the Light Brigade, but I think Errol Flynn is more nacho.
Niven was in a lot of comedy movies in the last half of his career.
I have confused him with Sir Alec Guinness on occasion.

I agree that Errol Flynn was more dashing than macho. But damn could he swash a buckle! Captain Blood was a serious fave!
David Niven, I don't think I've seen in anything machoish. Just the light movies and comedies and stuff. So he might be über-macho, but not in my viewing.

Oh wait, who was the Scarlet Pimpernel? Was that Niven? I'll have to change my vote if so.
"They seek him here, they seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in Heaven? Or is he in (nnhmmm)?
That demmed elusive Pimpernel."

Your post reminds me of those great old Warner Bros. cartoons where their characters played famous movie roles... Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in "The Barber of Seville"... Bugs as Jack (in the beanstalk)… and of course, DAFFY DUCK as... "The Scarlet Pumpernickel"... I can barely SAY "Scarlet Pumpernickel" without chuckling...  I miss some of the hilarious cartoon characters of my youth... "Bosco" "Speedy Gonzales" "The Frito Bandito"... All done strictly in fun, but nowadays deemed "offensive". Offensive? We (including my Black and Hispanic pals) just thought they were funny!  OK, I won't even go into the original 1950's animated "P.F. Flyers" sneaker mascot and his jingle lyrics... Yeah THAT really WAS offensive... LOL!Have a bone on The Old Chopperguy! |

Ah yes, the Scarlet Pumpernickel. I remember him. I remember he was more dangerous to himself than the Frenchies.
But I don't remember Bosco. Speedy, yes. And his cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez, the Slowest Mouse in All Mexico. Loved those eps! How about Kill th' Wabbit? My very fave part of that one--the single most spectacularly fattest horse ever created!
I'm gonna have to find my Chuck Jones video and watch all those again. Esp Michigan J Frog!
Have a bone back, Unca Leo, for renewing fond memories!
