It's no exaggeration to say that Errol Flynn's public-private life was always more newsworthy than his film career but he insists that neither the movies, nor his wives, mistresses, brawls, fortunes made and lost, serve to explain Flynn. It also accounts for the fact that the book has little perspective. ![]() In a sense he seems to be reliving his life as he tells it and this accounts for the various changes of mood one finds in the book. But Flynn was not an unaware man and though he protests too much about how much reading he has done - as though that should count for something of value, his book is not simply a vacuous account of a dizzying alcoholic whirl from one scandal to another. Much later, having revealed reams about himself, his friends, his wives and mistresses, he confesses that he does not understand himself. Early in the book, in speaking of his near bankruptcy, Flynn says ""It is a habit of mine, when you are down and out, to go to the 'best spots'"". This posthumously published autobiography of one of the most flamboyant characters ever to make newspaper headlines is a curious mixture of bravado and bafflement. ![]() ![]() How to master your emotions like a championīy the end of The Explorers Mindset, youll have a stronger mindset, better habits and a happier and more fulfilling life.So, if you want to step into your new life, scroll to the top of this page, click the "Buy now with 1-Click" button, and start today.How to discover yourself, happiness and your purpose. ![]()
