A hero to millions who adored his portrayals of Robin Hood and
Fletcher Christian, Errol Flynn (1909-59) lived a life that far
surpassed any adventure he ever acted out on screen: exotic
travels, criminal exploits, passionate love affairs, violent
confrontations, scandals, and international fame. In this highly
readable, witty and colourful autobiography, reissued by Aurum
Press in B-format using the original uncensored text, Flynn reveals
himself and his remarkable life as he did nowhere else.
Known to millions as the preeminent swashbuckler of the silver
screen, Errol Flynn was a complex man who lived a life far more
adventurous than any of his films. In My Wicked, Wicked Ways, Flynn
reveals himself to be a self-aware and cosmopolitan devotee of
excitement and pleasure. With gusto, he recalls his years as a
soldier of fortune in the South Seas, his trip to war-torn Spain,
his battles in Hollywood with studio honchos (Jack Warner was a
particular nemesis) and ex-wives (esp. Lili Damita), and the furor
surrounding his trial for rape in 1943. Freely mixing verbal abuse
and tall tales with candid confessions, Flynn's autobiography makes
for one hell of a read.
