They Died With Their Boots On (1941) - Autie and Libbie Farewell

[@tosius2]

"Walking through life with you mam has been a very gracious thing". Fitting words for Errol to Olivia as that ended their on camera life together.

[@acemulligan7010]

That punch line is on Dennis Farina's gravestone.

[@beckylink]

I can't ever get through this without tears... Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland display their great powers of acting here. She was lauded but Errol was always underrated, and that is a shame because he displays plenty of depth when needs be. He also knew how to entertain and make us laugh. The one and only Flynn, now appreciated more than ever perhaps, as the most charming of all the Golden Age leading men. I love them both and this scene particularly, as the last one.. how apropos...

[@nellzach667]

you are so correct

[@RCGoetzke]

Possibly the most moving scene that any movie actor and actress ever created on film. Flynn and de Havilland were the perfect on screen couple.

[@raulxphotoart9017]

Robert G. I've always wished I could find no relationship with a woman like this scene. Love making without being in bed

[@thomasjorge4734]

More than Screen Chemistry!

[@adamhenrywalker]

I've seen greater chemistry in physics

[@SStupendous]

@@adamhenrywalker -Which doesn't suggest that they have any less chemistry, because if you knew anything about physics and chemistry you'd know they intertwine, for one damingly obvious example look no further than the whole topic of Radioactivity and equations...

[@michaelcollins237]

u r so right sir

[@theresecatalano4017]

This scene never fails to bring tears to my eyes...it really is Errol & Olivia saying goodbye...heartbreaking

[@sezwhom]

Not sure what gets me more, the excellent acting or Max Steiner's score. Just brilliant. A knockout goodbye scene with Flynn's haunting parting words.

[@alanlewis1445]

I've probably watched this movie a hundred times but when it arrives at this farewell scene the waterworks can't be stopped. Errol and Olivia magic !

[@robertsmoot7640]

I am proud to admit this, every time I see this scene I shed a tear.

[@robertnewsome3663]

Your not on your own there.

[@theresecatalano4017]

Robert Smoot me too...

[@michaelcollins237]

i am right with you on that score

[@brianboisguilbert6985]

"Walking through life with you mam, has been a very gracious thing." I tell my wife that all the time.

[@tommyross5959]

So she said, lol

[@TeddyBear-ii4yc]

Does she listen or say "what was that?" 😊

[@jimmytiler5522]

finally he became a great actor. No one in hollywood could have played that scene like Flynn did.Even today i ask you who could...I suspect no one. Olivia's eye's said so many words.

[@juliag.5114]

I love this film and specially this scene so much! So emotional and meaningful! And Max Steiner score is simply perfect.

[@catherinefeher3698]

Best representation of Audie and Libby ever done. For all his faults, he did love her. And she is truly responsible for the Custer legend.

[@workingstiff63]

"Walking through life with you Ma'am, has been a very gracious thing." Probably the most affectionate words of parting any man could give to his wife. They don't make scripts or use words like this in movies anymore.

[@robertnewsome3663]

Get's me every time.

[@dhandler19]

Even when they did write scripts like this, there weren't many words more effective. A stunningly beautiful scene, rare then and almost non existent now.

[@jlllorente7569]

Indeed wonderful, sensitive and accurate words.

[@dennisj.3439]

One of the most beautiful parting scenes in film history. Difficult to get through without tears When watching The depth of this scene and lost loves in one's life. Just beautiful

[@theuninvited1944GR]

One of my favorite scenes from "They Died With Their Boots On" with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. It was more poignant because it would be the last time these two great screen stars would make a film together. Their screen chemistry together was unmistakable.

[@lizdouglas1952]

At the very young age of 8, I was home from school taking care of my mother. This was in 1960. WGN TV had this movie on. It affected me a great deal, and although I was very young, it was Errol's magnificence, that never left me since. This remarkable love scene brought tears to my eyes. I cried. What did I know about Love? My Beautiful late mother gave me information. She told me he recently passed away. She lived through the Greatest Generation. She said Errol was her favorite actor. From that point on, I created a scrapbook of Errol Flynn. I even wrote a letter, and buried it, thinking it would go to heaven. And, all through the years, I have loved Errol Flynn. When they were paired together in eight films, they were perfect. I'll be turning 70, and throughout my life, watched his movies hundreds of times. But, this scene just pulls at your heartstrings. The music, the impending doom for them in their character. In later years, Olivia said it struck her hard throughout the movie, as it would be the last time for them. She loved him. There is nobody then or today that can come close to Errol Flynn. He was fully beautiful while fully masculine. I might add that it's sickening to know the Academy has Never recognized Errol. He was truly a fine actor. 😘💖😘🙏

[@kathleen9929]

Me too watching Errol since age 9. He was my hero and I cried and cried when he died. I had no idea he had a girlfriend four years older than myself! Still don't care about his off screen antics. I only see him as Robin Hood, Sea Hawk, Dodge City, etc. (I'm 74) I have every book written about him except Higgins. Every movie on DVD.

[@kathleen9929]

I've watched this scene so many times and I don't think I saw that tear going down her face. Such a great love scene without sex. Walking through life with you . . .WOW.

[@miketutek3366]

Rory Flynn is right. You can sense the deep affection they felt toward each other.

[@beaudare4717]

This was the last scene they did together as actors, and you can see in their performance that they knew this and had a tremendous tender, loving feeling towards each other.. Olivia stated years later, that they both did have a thing for each other..

[@beaudare4717]

Absolute magic together..

[@nellzach667]

What a profound moment, Dame de Havilland and Mr. Flynn are the Queen and King of film couples.

[@ClarkRenney]

My Favourite Errol Flynn film by far. I am a fifty-five year old Grandfather; and after all these years this scene still makes me cry… What am I like?!!! Thank You so much for posting. (They don’t make them like this any more!).

[@sspdirect02]

To this day, Olivia De Havilland has never been able to sit through this scene.

[@markcappuccio1147]

If so, there is more to that fainting than just acting, after they did 8,(I'm pretty sure) movies together.

[@DrkKnight2]

@@markcappuccio1147 She was in love with him and him her, but he never got his act together for her, so she knew it was the last time they'd work together - they both did, and that's why this scene is so moving and genuine. It was Olivia's and Errol's goodbye.

[@clipperblackhawk4297]

First time I saw this movieI was 5 yrs old in Cuba today Im 64 and I still watch this movie 3tmes a year..Errol Flynn was my favorite actor of all times. Hollywood and would never see another like him. Amazing .

[@shirleybalinski4535]

If you can watch this without a tear or reflection...you aren't human. The whole movie is a cinematic triumph. That movie score, these two brilliant actors, the tragic story line...OMG.

[@sheilaking-davis4712]

Yessss!!!😢

[@robinhepworth2079]

the first film I ever saw and sixty , years later still does something to me ,I just wish I could go back to them, times so long ago

[@atenasdiosa8472]

my favorite couple my favorite scene !!i love them so much!!now end forever!!!

[@epm5433]

Perhaps the most memorable scene from this great movie. As far as romance goes, it ranks with the famous Rhett Butler / Scarlett O'Hara scene in GWTW, and Gregory Peck's farwell to Ava Gardner in On the Beach.

[@kathleen9929]

Oh yes! Gregory Peck and Ava and even Anthony Perkins's farewell.

[@tss77]

This last scene before George (Errol) departs is legendary and still emotional to see now that is two compassionate Actors.

[@leightonatkinson4983]

These two had unbelievable chemistry

[@fflubadubb]

Damn he was good ! Finally getting the recognition he deserves !

[@STORMWORKS]

This is ABSOLUTELY one of the MOST Beautiful things I have ever seen (scene) and heard...

[@samgreen3818]

Love this! I'm British but love these old fashioned western films.

[@10023246]

So many blessings, all justified from you all. Who cares if parts of this great film were not accurate. But for sure Libby and George truly loved each other. I have the CD soundtrack. I recommend it so, as i do all of you for recognizing such a wonderful film experience. Thank you all and Errol, Olivia, and those making such a movie, a million miles from today's CGIs. Thank you and ananula so much

[@kathleen9929]

The soundtracks from all of his movies are wonderful! Especially Captain Blood, Sea Hawk and Escape Me Never

[@robertlangley1664]

When i watch this the tears flow I am 68years old man but I can help my self what a wimp

[@cheriewolfe7666]

this makes me cry every single time! so moving. I heard that this was their last picture together so it was extra emotional for them too.

[@RCGoetzke]

Not an easy scene to act out, but I like to believe that Flynn and de Havilland do so in one take.

[@DENAANN1000]

They were so great together, this scene was a heart smasher.

[@thomcook8570]

Great scene. Throw that History book out the window and enjoy a fabulous well made Hollywood film. Errol Flynn was always great with Raoul Walsh.

[@valeriefelitto6336]

My favorite scene in movies. Errol nailed it. So underrated in his lifetime

[@CharlesBrown-j2v]

The music in Errol's movies was always superb. Truly great composers worked for Hollywood when movies were great.

[@jakefoto5136]

Enjoy every day together no one knows what the next holds.

[@thomaschacko6320]

Should have been the Oscar winner of that year! At least the acting alone, if not Picture, Screenplay, and Director.

[@TerryUniGeezerPeterson]

Also prophetic because this would be the last time Flynn de Havilland would appear on film together.

[@jeffsmith2022]

Well done,Errol...

[@Al16640]

The saddest heart braking goodbye ever😢😢😢😢😢

[@dk60ish]

You could tell Errol stepped up to the plate as an actor for what he knew would be an onscreen & offscreen goodbye, very poignant.

[@jayrosen6663]

Great chemistry between those two!!!

[@pepeladdrockperuano]

She never stopped loving him.

[@KnightEnterprises]

When I worked in the mail room at Warners one of my old colleagues came in one day and declaimed: “Olivia de Havilland is on the lot”. No one knew of her but I already had 6 DVDs of her films. I loaded my truck and made a short cut to where he said she was. I hadn’t ever bothered w speaking to my regular route of Sorkin or Columbus over time but I had to speak to Ms. de Havilland. I told her she was in the greatest goodbye scene in Hollywood’s history in ‘They Died with Their Boots on’ and she replied: “I didn’t think so then. But I think so now.”

[@nicolettapasquini6614]

Uno dei più belli film western che ho visto bravo Errol Flynn in una parte intessa❤❤❤❤🎉

[@Al16640]

Olivia Dehaviland died today 😔😔😔😔 RIP beautiful lady.

[@zoshi_1]

this is a great movie

[@CharlesBrown-j2v]

What a fantastic compliment. A very gracious thing. Wow!

[@NatalieMartinez-k7l]

Errol Flynn And Olivia De Havilland Had A Few Movies Together. Such Talent And Chemistry Together! So Few Actor's Have That Today. Acting Then And Now Is So Different. God Rest Their Souls🙏.😢🌹

I truly enjoyed this movie.. I was sobbing so good.

My Dad loved this Part of the Movie as he felt the same about My Mum I always Cry thinking of it with Such Love for them Both ❤❤Now their in Heaven together Thank God 😪😪😘❤❤

[@williamphillips6049]

You know . . he may have had a sex life that would've made a porn star blush but his acting is right up there with the greatest: Olivier, Brando, Tracy, Vivien Leigh, DeHaviland of course. . . 'And there's this scene . . Historically; I believe it's pretty accurate. 'Stylized somewhat but by most accounts; George and Elizabeth Custer were crazy about each other. These two great actors downplay their roles brilliantly and let the excellent writing do the work.

[@Varianna12]

Don't know about authenticity this scene, but this movie savages history.

[@rdrift1879]

Someone said, "History not as it was, but as it should have been."

[@wonjubhoy]

The Custers had a very strong marriage and they were devoted to each other. There is no doubt about that.

[@rileyfairchild6873]

Great scene, still love to watch it! It didn't happen like that, but still.Flynn despicable human, but great actor Olivia, quite an actress. And the music!

[@charliesteele5685]

Although Custer, in real life, was a megalomaniac who participated in a genocidal murder of Native Americans against the background of broken promises, this is a great scene between two gifted actors. The Native Americans victory at the Little Big Horn resulted in them being chased into Canada where they suffered greatly due to the weather and lack of food. Eventually, the Seventh Calvary got their revenge at Wounded Knee where they crushed the skulls of babies and murdered other Native Americans in cold blood. History and Hollywood are frequently at odds with the truth.

[@TomMayrand-bz5ve]

Custer knew he wasn't coming back so he left his watch behind

[@patrickhealy2706]

Olivia de Havilland was absolutely Beautiful

[@michaelcollins237]

Finest film and scene in my 77 yrs on earth

[@derekward2116]

Olivia de Havilland RIP

I ALWAYS ALWAYS CRY AT THIS ...''WALKING THU LIFEWITH U MAM HAS BEEN A GRACIOUS THING' IT IS SAD OLIVIA AND ERROL COULD NOT GET TOGETHER.

Bravissimo e bellissimo errol Flynn nella parte del generale Custer in una intensa e struggente morte ❤❤❤❤😊

[@paulmcilwaine969]

brings a tear to my eye

[@formwiz7096]

This is what movies - not films - are supposed to be. When Hollyweird goes back to making movies, it will win America back.

[@WilliamSilva-ml5nw]

How did Olivia and Errol get through filming this emotional final scene?

[@musicmanregina]

TEAR JERKY -UNLESS YUR FIRTS NATION -

[@josebetancourt4575]

Errol Flynn the finest actor of Holywood Golden Era.

[@beatlemay1332]

Olivia broke Errol’s heart. If you she had said yes to his marryproposal maybe his life would have turned out differently

[@paulmcilwaine969]

he had a court case coming up and he knew that his career was over

Olivia is about to be 104 💖💖

[@josephcavaliere9772]

Interesting but very sad moments for her knowing that she wud never 💔 c him again 😢 they truly were in love ❤️ 😍 but his ambition was very strong n defeating the native Americans, this movie really doesn't show the truth about the ending of the battle but Custer mad to many mistakes and it cost him his life and all those soldiers of the 7th calvary who followed him into battle their lives without mercy 🥺 😢 🙏 😞 😢lol Joe

[@rick4586]

Wrong! Autie was Colonel Custer's NEPHEW! This is George Custer and Libby!

[@steplumpkin5432]

GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!!!

[@tommyross5959]

A lump in the throat every time!

[@christinelc61]

she is 102 today

[@RCGoetzke]

She lived a cleaner life than Flynn, who drank, drugged, and smoked himself to death by age 50. Of course he had a helluva time doing it.

[@johncruickshank6794]

He died 60years ago and she is still going strong at 102. Her memories of Errol have not dimmed in all that time.
