Remembered as much for his scandals as his acting, there was another side to Errol: writer, war reporter and even devoted family man. THREE PARAGRAPH SYNOPSIS Tasmanian Devil: The Fast and Furious Life of Errol Flynn Fifty years after his death, people are still fascinated by Errol Flynn. The romantic star of dozens of Hollywood movies, Flynn’s real life was in fact far more adventurous than any of his films. In a life dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, Flynn became notorious for his love affairs, scandals and rebellious nature. But there was another, much less well known side to his character. He was a fine writer, both of novels and journalism, wrote well reviewed novels and reported from wars and revolutions. Among his scoops was the first interview with the newly victorious Fidel Castro who Flynn tracked down in his mountain hideaway in Cuba. In Tasmanian Devil we discover the unknown Flynn, from his troubled childhood in Tasmania to his death, just fifty years later, in the arms of his teenage lover. We hear from his surviving children, friends and colleagues and discover an amazing life of almost unbelievable events.

  • SAVANT BOOK REVIEW Tuesday December 5, 2017
    SAVANT BOOK REVIEW Tuesday December 5, 2017 Hello! A Book Review today, and a very positive one. Good books about film directors are not easy to come by, and when a real winner surfaces like Bernard Eisenschitz’s book on Nicholas Ray or Foster Hirsch’s on Otto Preminger, I take notice. Joining those for reference-quality value and getting an A+ for sheer entertainment, Alan K. Rode’s Michael Curtiz A Life in Film is engaging from the start and doesn’t let up. Curtiz is different because he was never a cult director or one likely to be studied from an academic viewpoint — he was an artisan that for the bulk of his career worked at just one studio. But he had a terrific, recognizable style and made more ‘great’ golden age Hollywood pictures than anybody — Errol Flynn swashbucklers, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Casablanca, Mildred Pierce, White Christmas among them. He wasn’t an outright rebel or a hyphenate that generated his own scripts; he didn’t have highly personal themes to express. He also did everything — high adventure, literary adaptations, tense thrillers, ‘women’s dramas’ and even light comedies. Although Curtiz tangled with his studio bosses Jack Warner and Hal Wallis as much as anybody, before this book all I really knew about him was that he had made silent films in Hungary, and that he tied mogul Sam Goldwyn for quoted malapropisms, the most famous being “Bring on the empty horses,” from The Charge of the Light Brigade. With a sure hand, good research and a knack for amusing ironies, author Rode really brings Curtiz to life.

  • The Prince and the Debutante
    The Prince and the Debutante The Prince was Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, or to be exact, His Royal Highness, Louis Ferdinand Victor Edward Albert Michael Hubert, Prince of Prussia (November 9, 1907 – September 26, 1994) and heir to the royal House of Hohenzollern. The headline in the New Orleans States, dated December 28, 1933, proclaimed, “GERMAN PRINCE KIDNAPED [sic] BY DEBUTANTE”. Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia At the time, the prince was the 26-year-old would-be emperor of Germany if his family were ever to go back to the throne, in other words, the pretender to the abolished German Empire. He was the grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II of World War I fame, who was the grandson of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The article announced that the “imperial German prince” was kidnapped the previous day by Miss Anne Dickinson Robertson, a New Orleans debutante that year – “and did he love it!” Anne Dickinson Robertson All the while, “New Orleans matrons” and “society lionesses kept the telephone at the royal suite of The Roosevelt ringing with calls for „Mr. Hohenzollern‟ that kept a secretary busy.” Miss Robertson conquered the prince “with one smile” and completely disrupted “a society schedule” by making off with the young prince in a “shining new car they both borrowed from V.F. Cooper, New Orleans automobile executive” and headed for “a cocktail party at Mrs. Lillian Lewis‟.” Numerous debs were “trying their best to corner him at the Lewis cocktail party for Claudia Pipes and Elizabeth Eustis, but he had already set his eyes on pretty Anne Robertson,” reported the States on December 29, 1933.
