Synopsis
Hollywood legend Errol Flynn led a tumultuous life from his troubled childhood in Tasmania, to his escape from Australia after stealing the diamonds of his society lover, his infamous reign as the film world’s most flamboyant and highest paid star, his inglorious affairs with much younger women, and his drunken death at the age of fifty in the arms of his teenage mistress.
An unprecedented insight into the life of the picaresque star, this fascinating documentary (narrated by Flynn contemporary Christopher Lee) features never before seen archival footage, photographs and interviews with his closest family and friends - all of whom speak candidly about Flynn's revolutionary sympathies and journalistic ambitions in addition to his notoriously decadent lifestyle.
“Thief, revolutionary sympathiser and sometime actor, Errol Flynn [became] the biggest star in the world but, as this fine documentary shows, his films are the least interesting thing about him.” Sydney Morning Herald
