Domestic comedy

“I’m not a big fan of Errol Flynn. But at least it’s not a swashbuckling movie.”

“It’s post-swashbuckle.”

“He’s too old to buckle or swash.”

I don't think I'd watch anything of his that close to his death. Too sad. I loved him in The sea Hawk, Captain Blood, and Robin Hood. Mean to at some point watch My Wicked, Wicked Ways with Duncan Regehr.

Here he was playing a croupier in a Havana casino — kinda depressing.

Yep. I think someone, maybe a pathologist, said he died at 50 with the body of a 75-year-old.

Yikes. I remember reading that when Charlie Parker died, the doctor estimated his age as much older than he was.
