At least 28 books have been written about swashbuckler Errol Flynn. Perhaps the most famous is Charles Higham's 1980 biography. It wasn't the best. This is. Thomas Mcnulty's "Errol Flynn: The Life and Career" discards myths and explodes the legends. Using legal documents, court records, newspaper clippings, eyewitness reports, and Errol Flynn's own diary, it concludes with the most accurate(and revisionist) history yet. Errol Flynn was born in Tasmania in 1909. A rebel, he left school at an early age, flaunting his mother's wishes. Literally a South Seas beach-bum at age 24, Flynn was signed as Fletcher Christian in the low budget "Wake of the Bounty". Viewed by an agent, Flynn was contracted by Warner Bros. studios. 2 years later he starred in 1935's "Captain Blood". By 1938, "The Adventures of Robin Hood" had made him a superstar. Handsome and athletic at 6'2", Flynn charmed pretty actresses and teenage fans alike. He enjoyed Hollywood night-life. But alcoholism and drug-use dulled his senses and tarnished his looks. By the late 1940's, a spectacular film career was spiralling downward. 3 failed marriages produced added stress and financial burden. Errol Flynn died of a heart attack in Vancouver on Oct. 14, 1959. He was 50 years old. For the first time here, author McNulty reviews Flynn's movies and TV appearances in lavish detail. McNulty acknowledges his fine acting in Edmund Goulding's "Dawn Patrol(1938)". Using his own money, Flynn bankrolled a lavish Cinemascope version of "William Tell" in 1954. But 8 weeks into shooting, the film shut down. Finances had run out. Today, a small Tyrolean movie set exists near Lake Como, Italy. This tourist attraction is all that remains of ""William Tell". 2 dozen reels of the aborted movie are locked away in Boston University's Special Collections Dept..And to this day, "William Tell" has never been seen by the public. In 1957, Flynn co-starred in Ernest Hemmingway's "The Sun Also Rises". Flynn plays middle-aged playboy Mike Campbell; his performance a haunting, resonant self-parody. In one scene, Flynn sits alone in a darkened European hotel room. Nursing a cocktail, he muses on his life, and drinks-in how it all might have been. The critics went wild. McNulty reviews the 1942 rape trial, and includes almost 100 photos; many rare and unseen before. One of the most intriguing pictures is of Flynn with his idol, John Barrymore, at a Hollywood party. Flynn and Barrymore were both one-time matinee idols. But they shared something else. Errol Flynn and John Barrymore had failed relationships with their mothers. Barrymore's mother died young, and he was raised by his grandmother, Mrs. John Drew(Louisa Lane). On his deathbed in 1942, Barrymore kept mumbling her name: Mummum. In Flynn's autobiography, he wrote "All my life I have tried to find my mother and I have never found her. My father has not been Theodore Flynn, exactly, but a will-o-the-wisp just beyond, whom I have chased and hunted to see him smile upon me, and I shall never find my true father, for the father I wanted to find was what I might become, but this shall never be..."This new biography explores the complex, sensitive Flynn as well. His fictional book, "Beams End", is a robust, tender tale of sailor/world travellers; searching, searching for the mysteries just around the next lagoon. McNulty's book may almost go to far in defending Flynn's self-destructive life-style, but it doesn't. In the end, it finds compassion, not sentimentality. Sadly, film director Irving Rapper said it best: "He was a very lucky boy. He had the whole world in the palm of his hand and threw it all away".
This really has to be one of the best Hollywood biographies ever, about a star who attracted rumor and misinformation almost as much as he did ladies. McNulty is thorough, dispassionate, and unbiased, and his research is impeccable. This book, in conjunction with The Young Errol: Flynn Before Hollywood, by John Hammond Moore, will give a complete picture of Flynn's amazingly adventurous life.
It is true that the sticker price on this book is a bit high. But if you are a devoted Flynnatic, this book is simply a 'must read'. There is just no other way of saying it.Carefully researched, readable, and heavily illustrated with many pictures I'd never seen elsewhere (and I own over 20 books about Errol Flynn), this book is a joy to read.McNulty is a scholar, not a sensationalist gossip-monger like a few of the Flynn 'biographers' (and I use that term very tongue-in-cheek) out there. He has done his homework, and has come up with a very fair, balanced, and factual account of the life of one of the most colorful (and controversial) actors ever to grace our movie screens.If you want to read silly rumor and gossip, this is not the book for you. But if you are a serious Errol Flynn fan who is interested in an easy-to-read, yet scholarly account of the facts, then this is the book for you.One of my favorite books about Errol - up there with Conrad and Thomas, in my opinion!
Amazing how much more details of his life was in this book. I loved it and highly recommend it.
I think Mcnultys' book on Errol Flynn is by far , the best of all the many books written on this charismatic man . Ihave at least 17 books on the subject , and several others related to him too . His attention to detail , and the research that has gone into it is very impressive . For example, most previous authors referred to the " rape " trial in general terms , wheras Mr McNulty has dug out documents and FBI memos to fully fit out the overall picture of the events . This is not a highlight of the book , by any means , but an example of his attention to detail . Again, his coverage of Flynns' career in television is fascinating and very detailed . Many of us knew about it, but McNulty has gone to the trouble to dig it out . None of the previous authors , as far as I can remember bothered , concentrating on the more headline worthy items . Whatever his private life was about , the quality of his best films is unsurpassed, to this day . Highley Recommended .
Worth a read, the bio of John Barrymore was better, but the two add up to a powerful look at Hollywood during its heyday.
From the moment you start reading this book you come to realize that Thomas McNulty is a big fan of Errol Flynn and he must have done exhaustive research for it. This is the best and most truthful book written about Errol Flynn. And Thomas McNulty should be commended for getting everything right.
I haven't read "My evil evil ways" by Errol Flynn but this author of this book appears to really have investigated his life from birth to death, very interesting.
