How did Errol Flynn get off on statuary rape? His daughter runs a web site to the memory of Errol Flynn. A new DVD will lucid interviews Olivia De Havilland. Judy the boat dog. More movie talk and recommendation on spoof “Back to the Beach” 1985 Show time about 14min
So did you have “Rum Cake” for John’s b-day? (I assume it’s his b-day b/c the song part of the cast said it was.)
That’s John on the left, correct?
In one of the rooms at Hearst Castle in San Simion CA, the tour guides point out a bedroom that has a balcony. They say that Flynn used to jump from the balcony to the first floor like Tarzan. Apparently he was “the highlight of Hearst’s parties.”

It was TWO babes.
The phrase “In like Flynn” originated as a coarse reference to Errol Flynn’s powers as a seducer. In November, 1942, Flynn was charged with statutory rape, arrested and brought to trial, then acquitted. He was charged with having sexual intercourse with two girls under the age of 18. (He was 33 at the time). It was Flynn’s belief that the Los Angeles district attorney had made him a scapegoat for Hollywood in order to discipline the film community. Jerry Giesler (Flynn’s ace lawyer) considered Flynn an excellent witness and thought that his “gentlemanly demeanor throughout the trial had been an important factor”. A new phrase was added to the English language: “In like Flynn”.

I still don’t understand where “in” is. “In like Flynn”?

Geri,
“In” as in; In her hole. Or holes as the preference might be.

They didn’t use references like that in that day. Hell, they wouldn’t even say that a woman was pregnant. She was “PG” or “in the family way.”
I’m voting for “in” having to do with the court room.

How about “in” bed then? Or “in” her panties?
