Errol Flynn: The Untold Story
April 20, 2018
First things first. Watch this then come back.
I couldn't get that bloody tune out of my head the whole time I was reading so it's only fair you have to deal with it now too. It seems likely songwriters Reyne and McDonough had read Higham's book, because the lyrics specifically make reference to the meat of the work: the supposition that the Tasmanian thespian dipsomaniacal klepto satyromanic was also a dyed-in-the-wool anti-Semite and Nazi.
Yeah.
The only problem with Higham's thesis is that it isn't supported by anyone else. This shouldn't be a surprise given how much space in his obituary is given over to descriptions of how lurid (read: full of shit) his multiple biographies were.
It's a terribly written book. Through the book, Higham heaps shit on Flynn's own autobiographies, claiming they're complete fabrications. If that's true, it's a shame he followed so closely in Errol's footsteps, because little of what the book is sold on - the Nazi connection - is supported by anything other than the pub braggart's go-to: some bloke. The bloke in question, Herman Erben, was a Nazi, but even the author admits that there's no actual evidence pinning the charge to Flynn. It's supposition and sells books, and I shouldn't be

My Wicked, Wicked Ways: The Autobiography of Errol Flynn
July 1, 2021
The year was around 1982. We only had three channels to watch on TV. Even then, mom limited what we watched. However, my parents had just purchased a new device that would revolutionize our television viewing. The device? A Curtis Mathes VCR. From then on, my sisters & I learned the names of the classic titans of the screen: Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, Alan Ladd, Bob Hope, and the list goes on and on and on. In addition, we saw nearly any Disney movie that came out. High on our favorite Disney list was the Apple Dumpling Gang along with the Love Bug series of movies.
One day, mom brought home a movie that soon became one of my favorite of all time. The movie? The 1939 version of The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland captivated my ten year old mind. Mesmerized by the swashbuckling antics of Flynn along with the aura he put off on the screen, I looked out for other movies in which Flynn starred. Captain Blood, Sea Hawk, Dodge City, & the Santa Fe Trail to name just a few were movies that I enjoyed.
As I became an adult, I learned that Errol Flynn lived quite a life. By his own words, he lived a very wicked life. And he was
