  Cuban Rebel Girls
Why, what could I do?" The Cuban girl explains that she is in charge of getting an important shipment of fl market firearms to the rebels that weekend, and she sure could use some help with those heavy old guns, darn it.
For the principals, Cuban Rebel girls seemed to be the first film or the last.
Cuban Rebel Girls deserves serious consideration as the worst film ever made, but Mahon himself went on to even greater glory and made two films which are rated even lower on the IMDb scale!

A priceless artifact of the Cuban missile crisis, the map was used by Kennedy during a Cabinet briefing on the morning of Oct. 16, 1962, as CIA officials described the evidence, discovered by spy planes.
The Cuban leader, who turns 79 next month and has been in power for 46 years, said hundreds of millions were being spent to ensure the chronic energy shortage that marked the crisis would improve by the holiday months of July and August and disappear completely within a year.

 The Cuban Revolution, Chapter 9
The Cuban people now suffer the horrors of a totalitarian "communist" regime, massively subsidized by the Soviet bloc with arms, technicians, military and police experts etc. But the Cuban people have in a thousand ways demonstrated their unquenchable will to emancipate themselves from the dictatorial regime that exploits and oppresses them.
The Cuban labor movement was absolutely independent of governments and political parties from its foundation by the anarchosyndicalists in the 1880s, the last days of Spanish domination, until 1938, when the communists in alliance with the Batista Government, subordinated action of the working class to the interests of the Party and the State.
Cuban labor is imprisoned in a straitjacket (2).

Since Cubans are not allowed to travel or even to question the state of the regime, it is hardly surprising the regime looks askance at the possibility of tourists bringing unwanted, provocative influence.
Cuban defectors say that Fidel Castro's Biological Front studied ways of using migratory birds to spread infectious diseases to the U.S. Saddam Hussein was also known to have close ties to Castro.

 Cuban Rebel Girls (1959)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
CUBAN REBEL GIRLS, the wretched last film of legendary star Errol Flynn, is a tragic epitaph.
Her one dream was to become an actress, and Flynn, according to legend, wrote CUBAN REBEL GIRLS to give her the opportunity no studio ever would, with her notoriety.
Sadly, whether CUBAN REBEL GIRLS was created as a tax write-off, a product of a last-minute attempt to appease backers, or as a 'Valentine' to a controversial love, Errol Flynn's swansong was simply awful.

 Foreign Films - Cuban Films
A breakthrough Cuban film, the first Cuban film to be released in the U.S. Set in the 1960s, the film centers on a Europeanized Cuban intellectual, too idealistic (or lazy) to leave for Miami, but too decadent to fit into the new Cuban society.
One of the key Cuban films shot in a fluid style, the film focuses on the stubborn survival of deeply ingrained traditions of machismo and sexism in post-revolutionary society.
One loses her daughter in a strange and ambiguous set of circumstances, the second faces repercussions after refusing to fulfil amoral job requirements, and the third is spontaneously fired from her job on the slaughterhouse floor.

Not since 1959, when actor Errol Flynn made his last picture, “Cuban Rebel Girls” (tag line: ``Filmed during the heaviest fighting of the Cuban revolution''), has an American filmmaker shot a movie on the communist island, said the creators of “Love and Suicide”, a romantic drama shot in Havana over 12 days in December 2003.
July 25: Cuban exile militant Luis Posada Carriles used a false Salvadoran passport to fly to South Florida in the spring of 2000 -- about six months before using the same passport to travel to Panama, where he was arrested in connection with an alleged plot to kill Fidel Castro.

Errol Flynn plays himself and along with his 17 year old girlfriend they help the Castro rebels overthrow the Batista Government by smuggling arms to outposts in the Cuban countryside.

 Documentary
A jaw-dropping curio and propaganda piece detailing the overthrow of the Batista regime by Fidel Castro's band of rebels, this leftist political screed was made by Cuban documentarian Victor Pahlen and legendary Hollywood icon Errol Flynn (that's right, that Errol Flynn).
As Pahlen's filmmaker daughter remarks in a three-minute introduction, "Cuban Story" is "quite an extraordinary object." Apparently, Flynn and Pahlen were casino hounds in the midst of trawling the Havana booze and broads circuit when the Cuban revolution came up and bit them in the tokhes.
Somewhat of a companion piece to Flynn's final film, the abysmal "Cuban Rebel Girls," "Cuban Story" is just as ragged and lamebrained, but it outpaces the former by being both a valuable historical document and an alcoholic travesty.

Hands raised in an AC/DC metal devil-worship stylee, giving it some horn were Olaf, Gunnar and Loaty from 60's cult underground band Groovy Cellar, next to the honourable Lord Alvis and Marc Bolan look-alike, loveable little 4 foot 6 wanker Darryl Reed, freshly returned from his third successful US tour.

 NUDIST DOUBLE FEATURE
Basically it comes out at night and either carries a girl off or tosses her in the swimming pool, but the residents are only mildly fearful.
The girls don't even bother to put on nightgowns when they sleep; they simply bunk up together to protect each other from the scary gorilla, which will look less than threatening to eagle eyed viewers who have ever seen a furry ape suit.
Throw in a scared suburban housewife (Delores Carlos) newly awakening to the joys of nudism, her husband played by sleaze master Byron Mabe, a lot of bored looking guys in boxer shorts, and one stunning Sherilyn Feen lookalike, and you've got the recipe for a junky good time.

 Errol Flynn's Biography
The unfortunate animal was swept off the deck of Errol's ketch Sirocco during an August night in 1941 - a loss which cut into Errol deeply, and from which, in the opinion of some, he never really fully recovered.
Second, with virtually no warning, in late 1942 Errol was indicted by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office on three charges of "statutory rape" - sex with girls under the age of eighteen.
Two underage girls, Betty Hansen and Peggy LaRue Satterlee, claimed they had been seduced by him - one at the home of his friends Bruce Cabot and Freddie McEvoy, the other on the Sirocco.

Another clever bit of marketing on CP's part was the creation of a "brand" logo (a circle containing a stylized graphic of a small girl in a dress, sitting, legs crossed, reading an open book and smiling).
The girl in the logo is looking at us, smiling, suggesting that Learning makes one Happy.
But the real message of the CP logo is exploitative in nature: "Don't read the book; see the Movie!" In other words, the girl is saying, "Come have Fun with me!" The message strikes one not as a plea to return to the past, but a plea for the pursuit of modernism.

Things come to a head during a last-reel gun battle in and around the historic Morro Castle.

 Errol Flynn St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
He sailed around aimlessly in his yacht, and returned to Hollywood in 1956, a ravaged shadow of his former self, to face the final irony of his self-destruction: praise for his performance as a drunken wastrel in The Sun Also Rises (1957).
He played two more drunks the following year in Too Much Too Soon (as John Barrymore) and in Huston's The Roots of Heaven, and ended his career, shortly before his death, with the nadir of his achievements, a semi-documentary about Fidel Castro called Cuban Rebel Girls which he wrote, co-produced, and narrated.
Movie stars biographer Charles Higham, in Errol Flynn: The Untold Story, suggested that the actor had been a Nazi agent for the Gestapo and a bisexual who had affairs with several famous men.

There are impressive spreads of full-color posters for Flynn's legendary leading-man vehicles, including 14 separate entries for The Adventures of Robin Hood and eight for Adventures of Don Juan.
But as Flynn's star began to fade in the early '50s, and as his battle with alcohol was slowly being lost, the films leaned toward the pirate trifle Against All Flags and the amateurishly cheesy Cuban Rebel Girls.
Accompanying the impressive poster collection is Bassoff's concise, affectionate film criticism, which makes for satisfying reading for any film fan.
