Overview

Errol Flynn, the swashbuckling Hollywood star and notorious ladies man, flouted convention all his life, but never more brazenly than in his last years when, swimming in vodka and unwilling to face his mortality, he undertook a liaison with an aspiring actress, Beverly Aadland. The two had a high-flying affair that spanned the globe and was enabled by the girl's fame-obsessed mother, Florence. It all came crashing to an end in October 1959, when events forced the relationship into the open, sparking an avalanche of publicity castigating Beverly and her mother - which only fed Florence's need to stay in the spotlight.

[It] looks lowly and limp, and we seldom feel just how much is at stake.

Anthony Lane, New Yorker

The film becomes a showcase for Kline and Sarandon - and a reminder of how great actors can light up the screen, staying with you even as the rest of the film slips away.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Fresh

A character study of an ultimately pathetic man.

Terrific performances help mine the poignancy in a legendary tabloid story.

John Anderson, Newsday
Rotten

Since it's impossible to see what the attraction would be, the film's emotional logic fizzles.

Tom Long, Detroit News
