Another find from the Lifeline Bookfair!
A celebrity and rake confesses--fifty years of high-pressure living recalled by a rebel who became a legend in his lifetime.
a wild youth in New Guinea and the South Seas
--circling the globe on a wilder chase to London, arriving broke and unabashed at the Berkeley Hotel
--for two decades a cinema idol--to millions he was a symbol of masculine virility while his own sex life became an endless orgy
--fighting the celebrated rape case that changed the course of his life.
Errol Flynn has never pulled a punch in his life, nor has he done so in this book--a rogue male's blistering self-portrait.
One of the first tell-all autobiographies--or was it? Rumour has it that besides bedding countless women, Flynn occasionally, er, "crossed swords" with male actors. True or not, this book comes across as a remarkably frank memoir by a man who lived a wild, hedonistic life. In the end one is left wondering what Flynn left out of his book, and how many of the stories about him are true!
