Awesome, unbiased, entertaining., 1 July 2007
9/10
Author: Queerpike from Sydney Australia

I saw this film as part of the Sydney Film Festival and I loved every minute of it. Christopher Lee's narration was great and the stories and anecdotes were wildly entertaining. Errol Flynn was a fascinating person both on and off-screen and this documentary explores the highs and lows of his life and career with a great deal of empathy. The film covers all stages of his life: including his childhood in Tasmania (and distaste for authority), his pirate-esquire exploits in New Guinea, his sudden and massive rise to fame, his turbulent relationships with women, his dubious relationship with the law and media (including unfounded accusations claiming he was a Nazi!), his battle with alcohol (among other things) and well-hidden health problems, his revolutionary pro-peace stance and little-known friendship with Fidel Castro... This is a great tribute to an amazing performer and an amazing human being.
