Hmm, there was some of that, but it wasn't <b>that</b> bad... watched on Netflix.
Then you might want to check out this movie. In this one he's not too bad.
She's pretty old though, and a public figure. See how long your list is by the time you reach her age.
Sheldon would only care about the ones awarded for physics.
Do you have any movies about Errol to add to this list?

Also here's a list of obscure, but good films from the Golden Age:

It's really difficult to say. You'd need to assemble a list of the leading sex symbols of mid-60s to mid-70s, ranked, and see where she would fit in, in terms of looks, talent and general appeal.
Flashman is usually in a foreign part of the empire and disdaining the locals because they're not British or nobly-born.
Here's an idea: save that stuff for the spinoff.
Ethan Hawke did something along this line recently.
I guess so. Errol liked to talk up his father as a great professor and get some status from that, but really his father was not as great in the world of science as he liked to make out. But Flashman was actually of the nobility, if I recall.
Movie's not about him.
Yeah, I've read some Flashman, but couldn't really get into it. He's a bit too much the haughty noble, looking down on everyone else.
Yes, Indy is in the same kind of area too.
Yes, at some level a western can be just another kind of adventure picture. Just a different kind of costume.
Thanks. Listen, some time when you're doing errands maybe, to the music of Korngold. I think you will recognize a lot of it: https://youtu.be/3UOizXUryws
The ending is interesting in that probably the moviemakers would have gotten in trouble with the censors had they broken up an apparently happy marriage. So all they were able to do was suggest an outcome.
Yours too!
Yes, that's true. His life had its action-adventure component. Had he lived longer and been maybe a bit younger he could have made a great Bond.
There are two versions of the movie on youtube. Maybe try the other one.
Always funny seeing Errol in a western because he seems out of place at first. They try to make it better by giving him some line about how he came to America from somewhere else.
That's Max Steiner's music. He wrote for a lot of Errol's films. Korngold was another of the great composers who worked on his films. Both have had a great influence on subsequent movie composers.

Yes, by the end we kind of get the idea that the husband may not exactly have been noble in his treatment of her, but that's good because it makes it okay for us not to like him anymore.
I think it may be interesting to compare the ending with Casablanca.
Casablanca: kills the authority figure, takes the money, gives up the girl
Istanbul: makes friends with the authority figure, gives up the money, gets the girl
It just goes to prove that 2 out 3 is the best you can do! ;)

Shouldn't Oona Chaplin have dibs on that role?

Yes, this was my immediate thought too: Ingrid Bergman knock-off.
Ah yes, thanks!
Those are two good films to be like!
Yeah, I'm sure most of this goes back to his mother.
(PNG?)
Ah yes, <i>Istanbul</i>. Not sure if I've seen one. Should try to track it down some time.
Almost always not, I agree. But I think there are a few for whom it may be the best option. Big stars tend to be a bit out of the ordinnary in the first place.
I think mainly because they were more experienced, which interested him because he could learn things, and because they knew how to corral him. Probably there were a lot of others we don't know about though.
Yes, pretty much, though he was showing a fair amount of attachment to Beverly late in his life.
