"My Wicked, Wicked Ways" was written as a joke by Flynn. He made up or exaggerated a lot of his life, though he did write two novels in his life that are just as entertaining. Part of the problem with Flynn was that he didn't see himself living long after he was diagnosed with a heart condition. That's the real reason he didn't participate in WWII, which Warners kept quiet about. He died at 50 and the coroner even made mention that this man died at 50 but has the internal organs of an eighty year old.

I don't think it's quite a joke,but he left a lot of interesting stuff out as well and not just affairs and trysts He punched out more than one person, in fact it was several that made the papers, but not in the book..In the excellent recent book Errol Flynn The Illustrated Life Chronology with over a 1000 photos, there are pictures of him with Howard Hughes, and one with FDR. In fact he was a guest of The Roosevelt's and won a horse race. As I recall, there's nothing in his Autobiography about either one, though I read it about 30 years ago. I believe in the paperback edition there are a few chapters that were cut because Jack Warner was still alive. If so...I'll have to pick it up. Some of the best pictures of him were on the Tennis Court, and on his boat. He apparently was quite good and seemed to be having a blast. Anyway between 1935 and The Rape Trial, (he was as much The King Of Hollywood as Gable, Grant, or Cooper.)which he was found innocent and 9 women on the Jury did not believe The young Ladies.

He lived his life on his terms and unfortunately died at a very young age, but you can't deny that over one hundred and twelve years since his birth he is still a legend of the golden age of Hollywood.

Bette didn't really dislike Errol. She considered him beautiful to look at. She just resented the fact that he was higher paid AND she felt he wasn't up to her level as a costar. She considered him a featherweight adventure movie hero, not an actor. (She always admired costars like Claude Rains, Paul Henreid, Henry Fonda, etc...) This outlook cost her GWTW/Scarlett. Years later, many years later and too late, she caught "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex" and realized that she'd been wrong about his talent. She had to acknowledge that he was good and his performance held up over time.

@whahappened8398

@@brianwalsh1401 Brian, I spent a great deal of time with Errol's closest boyhood friend in Hobart ' Don Norman'. There was strong discipline in Errol's home. He was often grounded for his mischief. And that speaks of parental care. Don once told me " if you could have harnessed Errol's energy, you could have powered the city for a year ". Errol's father Professor Theodore was in fact a real life 'Indiana Jones' and Errol was only too happy to go along for the ride. And indeed Errol did travel with his father by sailing ship to Sydney, and often. Theodore grew up in Coraki, northern NSW and then the family moved to Moruya, southern NSW. His academic prowess was becoming evident and his family moved to Newtown to ensure his scholarship education was realised. These are not the hallmarks of negligence. The very real problem Errol faced was his beauty. As a little boy he was so pretty he was mistaken as a girl. His young cousins in Sydney nick named him 'Girlie' Another problem was teasing in Hobart. Over lunch one day, Don was regaling the early Errol years, " he took up boxing because he had dark olive skin and the kids at school would taunt him, calling him " darkie". As for Errol being " left behind" you have to factor in the travel times between Australia and England. 2 months each way by sailing ship. The school curriculum did not innervate Errols mind. He spent a lot of time with his father on field trips in Tasmania encountering a real time learning experience. School was a laborious prospect after spending time around a luminary intellect like his father. Errol's genius was one of 'Living' and that he did. And boy, didnt he power the city ! (?) Errols youth was not conventional, granted, but he entertained the entire world. And rather than pull him apart, perhaps we should just be grateful that we had him at all.

Wow never would have guessed he was a Hellraiser. He was an awesome actor though.

In many ways I think Flynn was self aware of his bad boy image and used it to his advantage career-wise. In his book “My Wicked, Wicked, Ways” he confesses to the awareness of his contradictory nature as a person & attributed it to his skill as an actor; while also arguing that it’s almost inherent in the Darwinian condition of humanity, but something that most people try to conceal with shame.

A classic case of the peril of extremely good looks.

Have no firsthand knowledge of his bad boy reputation, but he is one of my favorite actors

Flynn's original title for his autobiography was, "In Like Me". A brilliant title, but the publisher wouldn't go for it. I think Flynn's finest acting was his portrayal of John Barrymore in "Too Much Too Soon". Barrymore died half-way through the flick, and that's when I walked out. Saw the first half twice more, though. Brilliant. Flynn died in Vancouver, BC. He had come here with Beverly Aadland to sell his yacht. He died at the Georgian Towers hotel, half a block from my apartment. That's the closest I ever got to him. sad to say. Some years later the coroner divulged that there was evidence of several bouts of VD on his, um, body.

Amazing actor with such a short life.

Followed his life all over the world from N.G. to Tasmania and else where. His autobiography dismissed by all who new him. Was considered all B.S. An amazing character.

Errol is my cousin removed a few generations, so I know his family background a little bit. His maternal, great grandfather was an Irishman, a Hennessy, who was very swashbuckling in his own way as well as a rebel, (great story) his grandfather was an Australian/Irish patriot who protested a lot and his uncles were all sea Captains. My take on him is that he grew up on the stories of his great grandfather and craved a life that was full because the majority of his family, male and female, died young of heart conditions. I don't condone his treatment of women but I see, understand and admire his lust for life. ❤

There is always a dichotomy of human souls: it’s the people we are deep down inside filled with insecurity and the ones that we project that we would like people to believe we are. Actors exploit this for a living. For acting is basically “lying“. Film live this human dichotomy to superb ‘ nth’ degree.

Back in 1980's or there about I took a tour of Bidwell Park in Chico California. That was where they filmed parts of Robin Hood, as it had a forest like atmosphere. As told by the park guides, the studios painted the leaves on the trees as they started turning brown before the filming was completed. As for Earl Flynn, according to the tourist guides, he talked some local farmers into going hunt. Geese or ducks I think it was. Anyway, the got caught by the Game Warden and given fines. Earl offered to pay everyone's fine, which was nice, but the farmers refused because that was like saying they were poor broke farmers and they would pay their own fines.

I was watching a show about Packard cars, and they were showing one that was owned by Clark Gable. The 1930's convertible had running boards, and Gable was having trouble with female fans jumping on his car. It was said he sold the car to Flynn who encouraged the young ladies to jump on his car, lol

There's a lot more in his autobiography which I'd highly recommend. He said he was a slaver and a murderer but he wasn't a Nazi spy - that was his mate. Whether, any of it is true or not though is really up to you.

Man, he was gorgeous!

Errol Flynn was the best.

Yes he was a hellraiser. He was also bloody gorgeous

The details are not inappropriate. They are details about inappropriate behavior.

I read his biography. In reality, his behavior was much worse than portrayed here. One episode describes his fighting ability and his habit of picking fights at parties and other gatherings. He enjoyed beating up other actors, etc. On one occasion, he picked a fight with actor Victor Jory. Flynn didn't know it, but Jory was an accomplished boxer. According to the biography, Jory beat the hell out of Flynn. It was said that Flynn didn't pick any more fights after that episode. Flynn was really an ugly individual in many ways....

That must've been on the set of Dodge City. He had a famous fight with John Huston when they both beat the crap out of each other on the lawn. Flynn used to spar with an ex-boxer called Mushy Callaghan so he was pretty handy. To be fair, the stuntmen on Charge Of The Light Brigade tried to pick on Flynn by shoving a lance up his horse's bum. Flynn took the stuntman to the cleaners. You can find the details in The Moon's A Balloon by Niven.

I'm sure Flynn was probably a bully from a young age and never grew out of it. Bully's love to dominate people and pick on people they think they can take. Apparently he picked the wrong person this time. Good!

@@brianwalsh1401 Errol Flynn died at age 50 pretty much a physical and emotional wreck. His friend, David Niven, relates a contact with him just prior to Flynn's death. Niven said that Flynn told him he found a wonderful new book that he was reading. When Niven asked him for the title, Flynn made Niven promise not to laugh. He then told Niven it was the Bible. Flynn died some time shortly after that encounter.

We're very happy to know that you're a fan of Errol! In your opinion, which of his films is his finest?

I think he was a very lonely person being that he was basically shipped away when he was a kid I don't think he got the nurturing he needed from his mother or father children need security they can't be just floated here and there and alcohol kept those emotional feelings down but it destroyed his health in the end

I have read My wicked wicke ways and a lot about Errol. What can you say. He was rough, tough extremely good looking but had a sad way of planning in his life. He just let things happen and they did.

Flynn was a great actor and biggest star in Hollywood in those days and he was a charming man man liked by millions of fans and he will never be forgotten. There is so many jealous people even today who make up lies about Flynn. Flynn is the greatest of all of the Hollywood stars. This is a fact!

Very Good!..

If you condemn Errol, then you would have to condemn all the rock stars that followed.

From what I read, his tragic and traumatic relationship with his mother resulted in the rather tragic life he led as an adult. He hated the typecasting of Hollywood and wanted to be more than just an action hero, but he made too much money for the studios to change the formula. He had a troubled relationship with women, most likely from the memories of his mother, which led to his eventual undoing as a movie star. He was immensely talented, charismatic , and handsome, all to no avail, dead at 50.

His mother took Rosemary and left for Europe `

My parents were sitting next to Flynn and his enterouge at the 21 Club back in 1948. He was getting really drunk when the cigarette girl came to his table saying "cigars, cigarettes, peanuts". My father told me Flynn said, " Come here sweetheart, I'll give you some nuts"! My parents were leaving at the same time as Flynn. My mother was walking up the steps ahead of my father when Flynn came up behind her and grabbed my mother's ass. She told me she was startled and looked behind her to see my father falling down the steps! 😆

Interesting, thank you so much for sharing this information about Errol! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?

Bardzo kochałam się w nim wspaniały aktor niepowtarzalny ❣❣❣

He certainly led an interesting life…

Flynn has been vilified for his lifestyle, in 1942 he was rejected for service in WWII because of an athletic heart and was told he had two years to live. He is quoted as saying that if that was the case he would live a lifetime in those two years. This life altering diagnosis started him on the path of self destruction that led to his early demise at the age of fifty in 1959. We will never know how Flynn might have turned out if the rejection had not occurred but regardless people are still talking about him sixty some years following his death. There will never be another Errol Flynn.

Well, it must be said that his mother treated him horribly and when he was at the boarding school she never visited him. He was left alone at school during the holidays...I could see why he became a jerk. If his own mother didn't care about him, why should he care about other people. Still, Ioved most of his movies and my favorite was and is "Captain Blood".💫💫💫💫💫

I’m not gay but bloody hell he was one of the most handsome men there’s ever been no wonder women couldn’t resist him

How lucky for him he was born and got famous during 50's and 60's. He'd be in jail along with Harvey today.

He used to say sex was his occupation And his occupation was sex

Everyone seems to forget in order for a man to be able to have so many relationships there must be many women willing to jump into bed with him. We must stop blaming men for the decisions taken by women. Every relationship needs at least two people. Each person involved is responsible for their own actions.

One can't help to love such Charisma.... With a little guidance at the middle of his life he could have gone on to do great things truly great things

He was still pretty hot in his decline in my opinion. By the way the very excellent movie “My Favorite Year” with Peter O’Toole is loosely based on Flynn’s later years. If you can find it, watch it.
