=== Britain === Flynn got work as an extra in a film, ''[[I Adore You (film)|I Adore You]]'' (1933), produced by [[Irving Asher]] for Warner Bros. He soon secured a job with the [[Northampton]] Repertory Company at the town's Royal Theatre (now part of [[Royal & Derngate]]), where he worked and received his training as a professional actor for seven months. He performed at the 1934 [[Malvern, Worcestershire|Malvern]] Festival and in [[Glasgow]], and briefly in London's West End.<ref name="Connelly">{{Cite book|author=Connelly, Gerry|title=Errol Flynn in Northampton|year=1998|publisher=Domra Publications|isbn=978-0-9524417-2-4}}</ref> In 1934, Flynn was dismissed from Northampton Rep. after he threw a female stage manager down a stairwell. He returned to London. Asher cast him as the lead in ''[[Murder at Monte Carlo]]'', a "[[Cinematograph Films Act 1927|quota quickie]]" made by Warner Brothers at their [[Teddington Studios]] in Middlesex. The movie was not widely seen (it is a [[lost film]]), but Asher was enthusiastic about Flynn's performance and cabled Warner Bros in Hollywood, recommending him for a contract. Executives agreed, and Flynn was sent to Los Angeles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/nationalarchive/news/mostwanted/murder-at-monte-carlo.html|title=Murder at Monte Carlo|publisher=British Film Institute|date=23 December 2010|access-date=18 February 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314073323/http://www.bfi.org.uk/nationalarchive/news/mostwanted/murder-at-monte-carlo.html|archive-date=14 March 2012}}</ref>
