Join me on this incredible journey of Errol Flynn's
quest for an Oscar. Errol goes from complete obscurity
to one of the most sought-after men in Hollywood. Men
wanted to be him, women wanted to be with him. Errol on
the other hand, wasn't particularly interested in
acting. He was a cadet, an overseer at a copra
plantation, he ran a charter schooner and he mined gold,
to name only a few of his ventures all before the age of
21. He was a free spirit who played by his own rules,
much to the chagrin of the Hollywood producers. He was
up for any role and would play it so convincingly that
it transported the viewer into another world. This book
reminisces about the wonderful world of the motion
picture experience in the 30's, 40's and 50's, when
going to the movies was an event, where you would get a
movie program and live organ music would fill the
ornately decorated theater. We learn about the most
loved man-of-the-people, Robin Hood, to the most
audacious pirate in The Seahawk, to the bravest soldier
as General Custer. You will be treated to over 200
photographs of Errol Flynn in his many movie roles, as
well as, candid images most never before published.
There are rare artwork posters from around the world,
and some unique Errol Flynn items depicted you might not
know exist. This book includes Errol Flynn's complete
filmography with a short synopsis of each movie and the
entire cast. Whether you are familiar with Errol Flynn
and his body of work, or a newcomer, this book will
definitely give you an insight into all the different
aspects of his career in the movies. To quote Jack
Warner of the famous Warner Brothers Studio, ''He was
all the heroes in one magnificent, sexy, animal
package...he showered an audience with sparks, when he
laughed, when he fought, or when he loved. I just wish
we had someone around today half as good as
Flynn.'' |
