There is the other side many of his adorable fans do not know about Errol Flynn.He was an avid reader and he read a lot.His thirst of knowledge was legendary.
I knew nothing of his life but as an actor. I like his movies. While it is true that he had lots of women, deep inside he was a sad man and never found peace of mind. About a 15-year old girl having relationship with a 48-year old man... this 15-year old girl, with proper guidance from her parents, should have been attending school, in high school at that age, then to college. Errol Flynn had money and known in the movie world. For a young girl to have a relationship with a well-known actor was something to brag about. It's a pity for someone who was given the grace of luxury through his trade as an actor and with beautiful children was destroyed by his own actions and decisions so they were all taken away. I hope that he had found peace of mind; rest in peace.
His first wife once said, "I loved him anyway and he was, as everyone suspected, an endearing rascal." I would repeat the same thing--I love him anyway... And everybody agreed during his life time that was just so likable, including his Warner Brothers bosses, his third wife, and his friends. So who cares if any documentary wants to tilt toward negativity.
What a bunch of negative criticisms from people who don’t even know any true facts about the man or his life. To call a man a Nazi sympathizer is totally incorrect....have you read any material from an authorized biographer about that...it is totally false. And when he was living in Papua, a primitive jungle environment, he & his workers were being attacked by head hunters with poisonous arrows & spears when he fired at an attacker in SELF-DEFENSE & killed him . What was he supposed to do, let the attackers KILL him?
Sadly, Flynn ruined his own life with constant self indulgence, and values that could only be unfulfilling in the long run. He was charming, beautiful, jolly, clever and doomed to always feel he stood alone. I guess he did. Like most Hollywood "biographies", this one veers into rumor, salacious speculation & hints of the highly improbable. Find out what Errol really thought by reading his autobiography "My Wicked, Wicked Ways". He could write quite well & there's plenty of shocking revelations to please everyone. Did you know that when traveling through the jungle, he killed a stone-age culture native in New Guinea, in self defense? Bought a slave woman for personal use? Started a tobacco plantation?
They could have found a better voice-over Flynn sound alike. Whoever this guys is, he sounds nothing like Flynn; it's very distracting to an otherwise excellent documentary.
