I understand Errol Flynn originally called his biography"In Like Me", but his publishers didn't like it and made him change it.

It's quite interestinghis feelings about the whole thing in the book. He gets a bit pissed off about the 'In like Flynn' thing, and complains that he was misrepresented and had an undeserved reputation for pursuing young girls. And then he tells you about how during his trial for statutory rape, he started shagging the 19 year old who sold cigarettes in the courthouse lobby...
Flynn comes across in the whole thing as someone who's fundamentally a good bloke, but lacks much self-awareness or self-control.
