    The man had it looks brains and talent, he live life the he wanted. Sure its sad to see someone like flynn go from being a star in hollywood in his heyday. But his later years were the ones his critics saw as his best work in films. He was getting work again when his health failed him. The Man is a legend and his films are some of best remembered to this day thats his legacy. R.I.P. Errol Flynn.

    I've always liked Error Flynn for his sense of humor and delivering lines in his movies..not to take anything away from his great looks and superior physique, I just enjoyed his comraderie with all those who came in contact with him..
    A true human being, and being human, a true flawed one..so to speak..
    "get me Geisler"..in response to a lawyer that he needed in his hopes to avert scandal that was donned on him in '43..not saying it was true or not about these young gals..but strangely familiar of today and celebrities being accosted and or accused..
    R.I.P. Errol..Olivia is still in love with you..

      He had 6 sexually transmitted diseases. The warts were so numerous and so large, in fact, that the city’s chief pathologist, Tom Harmon, painstakingly removed them and preserved the specimens in formaldehyde with an eye of having them serve as a teaching aid to future generations of British Columbia doctors.

    I give my thanks for sharing the video, this spoof is interesting and amusing to view. From what I have read in a biography by Mr. McNulty, Mr. Knotts commented that he saw Mr. Flynn sad with his hands covering his face after they finished airing this. That does make me concern what troubled Mr. Flynn.

    My Dad turned me and my kid brother on to Errol Flynn back in the very early 60's. He said sit down and watch this movie with me.
    We did and we loved it! It was "The Adventures of Robin Hood" After that movie, we had to watch everything and anything Errol Flynn
    was in. My Dad was like Errol Flynn in a way. He was a Fencing instructor and taught all over in Connecticut, including Yale.
    He was very good looking like Errol Flynn. We all enjoyed the home movies of my Dad fencing and he was an excellent Horse back rider..
    Errol Flynn was like a "Superman", or "Bat Man" to us. He was the greatest. When my Dad told us that he had passed, we were shocked.
    How can a man like this die? And he was young, only 50. Wow... I guess that's what happens when you over indulge with alcohol.⛪🛐✝💘
    I know his life didnt end there on October 14th, 1959.. He went on to Heaven where he continues his life. God Bless you Errol Flynn

    It was a pleasure to watch the great Errol Flynn along with Steve Allen's talented cast of loonies in this satire of To Tell The Truth. His career at this stage was on the way back up when he appeared on Steve's show. He should have been nominated by the Academy for The Sun Also Rises. He was also marvelous in Too Soon, Too Much.

    I've no doubt Errol needed the money- he was also on What's My Line, Red Skelton and the Colgate Comedy Hour. it doesn't mean he didn't enjoy clowning on these shows. And he plugs his movies. The studio may have arranged these appearances. .

      By 1957 in his career he had not "fallen," much less "far." As he says in this show, he had just finished filming a Hemingway film and was about to play John Barrymore in the film Too Much, Too Soon, where he, perfectly cast, shone, as when he recited a Shakespeare passage brilliantly. But here visibly his former youthful health had fallen, as from alcohol and tobacco; he looks a bit bloated and tired.
