‘Four Daughters' and ‘Daughters Courageous': Romance and More
My family recently took the TCM Classic Films Tour at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California. When our guide asked if there were any particular shows, films, or actors about which we wanted to learn more, my sister responded with John Garfield and Errol Flynn. The guide blithely skipped over the first name to inform us she knew many stories about Errol Flynn. Despite being a largely unremembered star in the Warner firmament, Garfield was one of the studio's biggest stars from the late 1930s through the mid-'40s, particularly in the crime and gangster genres. Garfield started out as a stage actor. His screen career began auspiciously with the film 'Four Daughters' (1938). This film not only catapulted the young actor to stardom but also spawned a successful trilogy. Meanwhile, a spin-off, 'Daughters Courageous' (1939), featured almost the same cast in a different story. 'Four Daughters' Classical flutist and conductor Adam Lemp (Claude Rains) has four musically gifted daughters, Thea (Lola Lane), Emma (Gale Page), Kay (Rosemary Lane), and Ann (Priscilla Lane). Thea and Emma are being respectively courted by wealthy Ben Crowley (Frank McHugh) and florist Ernest Talbot (Dick Foran).

'Marvellous' and iconic film dubbed 'a must-see' with perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating
The Adventures of Robin Hood was a swashbuckling hit when it hit screens in 1938 and is still regarded as one of the best adventure movies of all time with a perfect rating on Rotten Tomatoes More than 80 years have passed since the film's debut, yet it remains hailed as one of cinema's greatest adventure epics, with movie enthusiasts awarding it a flawless 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Adventures of Robin Hood arrived in cinemas during 1938 as a spectacular swashbuckling epic, placing Robin Hood at its heart whilst featuring Hollywood legends in every part. Errol Flynn portrays the iconic Saxon knight, taking audiences on an epic quest as he wages war during King Richard's absence from England. Upon its initial release, this Robin Hood interpretation created ripples throughout the film world and subsequently earned four nominations at the 11th Academy Awards. Since then, it has been recognised as culturally important and a defining work of its genre, continuing to meet cinema lovers' standards. One enthusiastic review declares: "One of Hollywood's Golden Age great adventure films. A little dated now. Great chemistry between the leads. Great action, great stunts, great archery. A must see." Another captivated viewer commented: "There's something charmingly innocent about The Adventures of Robin Hood. It's the story we're all very familiar with, but with bright-coloured costumes and whimsical performances. Errol Flynn steals every scene he's in with such bravado that you can't help but believe he's the legendary outlaw. This adaptation of Robin Hood definitely stands out among the crowd." A reviewer perfectly captured the family-friendly film's blend of traditional and contemporary cinema techniques. They penned: "The Adventures of Robin Hood has the fine sweep and action of the best silent days and all the sound and splendour of the modern screen. One of the season's finest films." The tale kicks off when King Richard of England finds himself imprisoned whilst his treacherous sibling Prince John schemes to seize the throne, reports the Express. Naturally, the beloved hero Robin Hood, lord of Sherwood Forest, won't stand for such betrayal and rallies his merry men to protect the monarch during his captivity. During his quest, he captures the affections of the compassionate Maid Marian, portrayed by the iconic Olivia de Havilland, whilst anticipating the sovereign's return as he exposes Prince John's duplicity. When the king finally arrives home, the pair unite to battle for the crown and restore the rightful ruler to his throne. One reviewer summed it up brilliantly, declaring the picture "completely unabashed and utterly committed to delivering on its promise of adventure." Fellow critics have concurred that regardless of its absence of special effects and cutting-edge technology, the craftsmanship combined with the performances and narrative is "marvellous". Errol Flynn's reputation as a silver screen sensation during Hollywood's Golden Era helped boost the film's appeal, owing to his global stardom and repeated collaborations with leading lady Olivia de Havilland. He remains eternally linked as the definitive portrayal of Robin Hood, with audiences continuing to rave about their magnetic on-screen chemistry. One fan gushed: "A terrific movie and even better than I remember. Errol Flynn is decidedly up to the challenge of playing daredevil, lover and scoundrel. And Olivia de Havilland always gives a great performance." To experience this timeless masterpiece and dive into the cinematic artistry of 1938, The Adventures of Robin Hood is available to rent now on Apple TV

Buccaneers add another flavor of 'Creamsicle,' bring back original road jersey
If you love a little bit of 'Creamsicle' during the sweltering days of July, then you're in luck. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are bringing back another flavor of their famous/infamous uniforms featuring 'Florida Orange' and the winking pirate, 'Bucco Bruce,' that they featured for the first 21 seasons of their existence, beginning in 1976. However, in honor of their upcoming 50th anniversary campaign, the Bucs will also wear their white creamsicle road jerseys, which had not seen the light of day in any form since 1996. The uniforms are among the most notable in league history, the Buccaneers losing their first 26 games while being widely ridiculed for their appearance – both sartorially and from a football perspective. They only won one postseason game in Creamsicle before becoming something of a routine playoff entry in their current garb, which features red, pewter, a pirate flag helmet logo and a ship on the sleeve. Both of the organization's Super Bowl triumphs have come with the contemporary look. However the "Bucco Bruce" insignia − a winking pirate emblem calling back swashbuckling actor Errol Flynn − and the Florida Orange have taken on a nostalgic feel in recent decades, serving as a delightful throwback option from the 2009 through '12 seasons and returning anew in 2023 and '24 now that the NFL has relaxed its rules by permitting teams to use multiple helmet shells. 'If (Bucco Bruce) is the guy who's in charge of losing, let's get rid of him,' John McKay, the club's original coach, cracked when the logo was first retired in 1997. Since returning, Creamsicle and Bruce have been appreciated for breaking the mold of the NFL's fairly traditional uniforms when they were introduced. Bucco Bruce even occasionally took on the visage of Tom Brady, who quarterbacked Tampa Bay from 2020 to '22 and led the Bucs to victory in Super Bowl 55. Like their 1976 expansion brethren Bucs, the Seattle Seahawks are similarly expected to resurface their classic white road uniforms to celebrate their 50th season in 2025.

The jackpot comes as time is running out for one Lotto player who won €500,000 in the March 28 draw to claim their life changing prize. The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased at Tesco, Stillorgan Shopping Centre, Stillorgan, Co. Dublin, on the day of the draw.

We'd love to see the prize claimed in time, so we're reminding everyone to double-check their tickets from late March. It would be fantastic to see it go to someone local!'
