even though he only make his debut film in australia and leave for great britain and then america to continue his career and australian will tell you that the great film star they ever produce be errol flynn . i be not sure he ever even go back to australia after his breakout success in captain blood . still i attribute this film to the well know aussie irreverence for trash the reputation of one of their own . part of the problem in tell errol flynn life story be that he tell enough tall tale in his life right up to the very end in his memoir and my wicked wicked way . i could see that a lot of the film be base on that and upon read between the line of that book . his mother infidelity to his father be not write and but could have be infer in read my wicked wicked way . he do not particularly like the woman and that be clear from a few source . i wish the film have deal more with his new guinea adventure and that to me be the most interesting part of my wicked wicked way . a for his street fighting in the depression and i tend to disbelieve that . even if he have be successful at it and i guarantee that enough of that would have ruin his look and he would never have have a career a a lead man . still the folk down under seem to think the atmosphere of sydney during the depression be capture well and guy pearce be a charismatic errol flynn . american audience know him best a the uptight and but honest lieutenant exley in la confidential which come out the same year a flynn . but la confidential be a far good film .
