Gerrit Koets a sort of German or Austrian adventurer which is a corruption of Flynn’s real life companion Dr Herman Erben who is said to have been working for the S.S.

Missing also is Flynn’s utter contempt for authority in any form that he manifested with his dislike for Warner and the studio system in general. Linden has the age and the background to pull this off with relish yet what is missing and only hinted at in the screenplay was the actual fiery confrontations between Warner and Flynn. Linden and Regehr never really get the opportunity to unleash. MY WICKED WICKED WAYS has some other not some large roles that are actually better then the two leads the first is Hal Linden as Jack Warner. Sadly missing are Flynn’s real life moments with Olivia de Havilland played quite well yet all to brief by Lee Purcell. Regehr is also large in body to Flynn who was thinner but you cant have everything. He also has the physical background as he was a champion skater when he was young so comfortable with the athletic aspects of Flynn’s roles.

įlynn is played by Lethbridge Alberta Canada born Duncan Regehr who has a slight facial resemblance. If that was a decision as a Writer or Director this picture ignores many of Flynn’s live moments in favor of focus on Lili Damita. Taylor is well versed in the medium of directing for the small screen and handling fast moving story. Good attempt that falls short.ĭon Taylor who Directed and also listed as writer for this had a huge career as an actor in films like STALAG 17 to Directing for Television in a number of series like BURKE’S LAW and THE WILD WILD WEST.

This Don Taylor Directed MY WICKED WICKED WAYS (1985) made for TV film was an attempt to use some of Flynn’s self penned biography of the same name as source material. That doesn’t cloud me in thinking that everything a “Star” did was correct or wonderful that it deserves to be given its due. Firstly I can say that I am a big Errol Flynn fan who doesn’t think he has gotten what he deserves in terms of recognition from Hollywood.
