''My Days With Errol Flynn''〔Wiles, Buster. 'My Days With Errol Flynn: The Autobiography of Stuntman Buster Wiles', Roundtable Pub, 1988, ISBN 0-915677-36-9 / 0-915677-36-9, 1988〕 is an autobiography written by Vernon 'Buster' Wiles and mainly concerning his time spent with Errol Flynn in Hollywood during the 1940s. The first edition was published in 1988. The book was co-written by the professional writer, William Donati. Both Donati and Wiles were lifelong advocates of Flynn and his legacy, taking time to decry his critics in person and in print. They were especially critical of the controversial author Charles Higham and the book contains a specific section destroying his allegations against Errol Flynn. == Synopsis == Buster Wiles was a stuntman, stunt and screen double during this period, working on a number of Flynn vehicles, including ''The Charge Of The Light Brigade'' (1936). In the book he re-tells numerous tales of his amusing escapades with Flynn during the 'Golden Age' of Hollywood and of the movies they made together, including how the famous Arrow Splitting scene was filmed in ''The Adventures of Robin Hood''. Wiles documents numerous escapades with Flynn and it is interesting to note that whilst Buster managed a whole book on Errol, Flynn didn't manage a line on Buster in his own infamous autobiography ''My Wicked, Wicked Ways''.〔Flynn, Errol. ''My Wicked, Wicked Ways''. Heinemann, 1960〕 Similarly, Wiles makes no mention of many of Flynn's other pals including his housemate David Niven, an omission that Niven reciprocates in his own extremely amusing books The Moon's a Balloon〔Niven, David. ''The Moon's a Balloon''. Puttnam Press, 1972〕 and Bring On The Empty Horses.〔Niven, David. ''Bring On The Empty Horses''. Puttnam Press, 1975〕 The book also contains a number of unique pictures of Flynn's residence on Mulholland Drive shortly before its unfortunate demolition in the late 1980s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Days with Errol Flynn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
