NOTES: Errol was past his prime here, but cinema listings show that his films – old and new – were still being eagerly scheduled at venues across the city. Adventures of Don Juan could not crack the 300 EF mark but remained a healthy performer carrying top billings across the board (ranking 33rd on that metric). That Girls School was chosen to be regular support to a Flynn flick must have been a sly joke.
