Australian-born movie legend, Errol Flynn, lived a short life that was long on adventure, acclaim and sensation. As the swashbuckling star of fifty films from Hollywood's 'Golden Age', including such costume classics as: "Captain Blood"; "The Adventures of Robin Hood"; and "Dodge City", Errol Flynn embodied a winning and heroic style of acting which now lies dormant due to his irreplaceable verve, charm and swordsmanship. Flynn's unique persona lives on in over 180 colour reproductions in this book, the first vintage movie poster collection on a major Hollywood star ever published in book form. Originally displayed in movie theatres, these posters and lobby cards also document the Warner Brothers movie poster style from 1935 to 1953 and the heyday of the Hollywood swashbuckler from 1920 to 1959. A warm and funny foreword by friend and fellow screen swordsman Stewart Granger sets the stage for these rare, glamourous and biographical images. They also capture Flynn's premature decline in the 1950's and his final comeback as a respected character lead in "The Sun Also Rises" and "Too Much, Too Soon" before his death in 1959 at the age of 50.
