I am on my second reading and I think I could read this book at least once a year and still find it entertaining.
Olivia was in her eighties and white haired when she gave that interview and she delivered it deadpan. She said that by the sixth take Errol began to have a problem with his tights. She told a story of shooting a scene with Errol in "Robinhood" where they had to kiss and she didn't want the scene to end so she kept flubbing her lines so that they would have to shoot it over. She claimed that he asked her to marry him while he was still married to Lilly Damita but as loveable as Errol was she could never marry a man who was likely to be in another woman's bed whenever he got the chance. Olivia DeHavilland, his co star in eight pictures, said that she had a crush on Errol but that their relationship was platonic and confined to the screen. A Hollywood actress once said that Flynn's main problem was that he liked the ladies and the ladies liked him. His journey from Tasmania to the King of Hollywood was as improbable as any rags to riches story ever told.
If only one half the episodes in Flynn's book are true then his adventures were as exciting as any fiction writer could conjure.
