So we don't get off track and focus just on Errol Flynn's movies here, from website owned by one of his daughters, Rory.
We get a lot of questions regarding the origination of the phrase"In Like Flynn"
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".
