One of my favorite actors of the golden era is Errol Flynn. If you look “dashing” up in the dictionary, I’m sure you’ll find his picture. He made the ladies swoon and the guys envious.

TCM is having a day long tribute to Flynn this Saturday (Aug 7). It’s yet another day where you could do a lot worse than to sit on the couch and watch TCM all day. However, I have a duty to pick one and that one is Objective, Burma!

Objective, Burma! tells the true-ish story of paratroopers fighting World War 2 in the jungles of Burma. It’s one of my favorite WWII films from that era. Loaded with great characters and a plot that keeps things moving, it’s one of the films on my list of films I’d like to remake.

Objective, Burma! (1945) – Saturday, August 7 at 12:00pm EST
An American platoon parachutes into Burma to take out a strategic Japanese outpost.
Cast: Errol Flynn, James Brown, William Prince, George Tobias Dir: Raoul Walsh BW-142 mins, TV-PG

Also be sure to check out The Adventures of Errol Flynn at 4:45pm EST that same day. It’s a wonderful documentary about the actor.
