This sounds like the interview with Tony Thomas who wrote the Films of Errol Flynn .......amazing to find this rare interview......sadly Hollywood ignored him then......and still does.......he is one of the greats of all time. I hope one day he will be acknowledged for his true greatness......thank you for this.
I fell in love with Errol Flynn at 10 years old when my father placed me in front of the Tele to watch "Charge of the Light Brigade". I found him mesmerizing not just in his appearance but as both the charming man and the facially reactive actor. I since call him my favorite actor of all time. He might have had his DARK SIDE that was quite apparent..I believe he was battling that which he wanted and that which he was poised to receive but instead received alot of envy. Envy is biblically tortuous toward the human soul. I only know he was one special man who like many, did not want to be forgotten. I read that in an old "Modern Screen " magazine. Oh Errol--you shant be forgotten ...not by me !! not by the many!!
It’s sad that some people are basically hardwired to self destruct. Flynn would have aged well if he took better care of himself. He couldn’t believe that the best is often yet to come.
One of the most underrated actors of all time. Well before “Too Much, Too Soon,” Flynn had done “That Forsyte Woman” and “Elizabeth and Essex.” He displayed his musical talents in “Lilacs in the Spring” and “Thank Your Lucky Stars.” This interview is a pleasure to hear, but Flynn sounds tired. Pity the photograph didn’t match his appearance!
Top voice .. curious fella who's life was cut short by addictive traits brought on by boredom...he made other films stars of the time look boring in comparison...lived about a full a life as possible and rang it's neck for the last 30 years of it... interesting fella...
Cannot grasp why Errol Flynn didnt immediately respond to the first question about his Irish background? His name is Irish, his Grandad was Irish, Historically, this is why the Flynn family is so complicated. Legally and geographically, Errol Flynn was Australian. But culturally and genealogically, his family tree was rooted in Ireland.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting. He sounds very selfeffacing and cynical about himself. One of his famous directors did say he denigrated himself.
