This is the question that leaves
the reader's imagination buzzing
along after the final sentence is
read. The story has a multi-level
impact and I especially like the
meaning that lleywood Broun
once gave it:
"We cai do anything," he said,
"We must do anything, raUier
than try to go it alor.e, with our
helpless and terrified loneliness
clutching at us in the night."
The TV version, a magnificent
ly staged color production, was
not as subtle as the book. Where
the book buill slowly but relent
lessly toward its climax, the three
acts in the teleplay each generat
ed their own chills. Where the
book po'trayed Flora as an inno
cent, sweet child, the teleplay dis
torted her character to make her
a weirdy, presumably to expedite
the sus-K'nse-generating appara
tus. The juxtapositions of scenes
by the TV adapter, James t'osti
gan, nevertheless remained re
markably faithful to the spirit of
the story. And no pun intended.
Director-producer ,John Krank-
enheimer used thunderstorms,
mists, mirrored reflections, shad-
o.vs and winding staircases to
punctuate his story- The James
stcry is more matter-of-fact than
this in raising goosebumps, but in
the TV play there were goose
bumps aplenty when the appari
tions of I'eter Quint and Miss
Jessel appeared.
In the starring role as the tor
tured governess, Ingrid Bergman
was majestic. Completely in com
mand of her difficult role, her
portrayal imparted proper de
li its of hysteria, courage and de
votion. Her debut in a TV drama
was a rouser. Hey wood Morse, 11

her part remained true to the
original, she no doubt would have
managed much better.

elderly Mrs. Grose was effective,
although her role has little mean

Errol Flynn; Rash, Bold When
He First Invaded' Hollywood
(This , M 'fib ttcone) in
thre part series on the life
and times of Errol Flynn. To
dty "Errol Flynn's Career.")
By VERNON SCOTT
- UPI Hoilywood Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD lUPI' Callow,
cocksure and green as grass
when he invaded the land of
movie giants, Errol Flynn tackled
Hollywood with the confidence of
a platcon of marines.
He was brash, and an atrocious
actor, but Klynn had years of
roUjT-and tumble adventure be
hind him from gold mining to
pearl-diving. Hojlywood was just
another stop, a temporary one,
on his zig-zag course through
life. His lack of dedication to the
acting arts worked in his favor.
Warner Brothers studio found
him playing bit parts in England
and signed him to a contract.
Starring for Warners at the time
was a group of tough, eccentric
he-men who specialized in gang
ster films Humphrey Bogart,
Jimmy. Cagney, Edward C. Rob
inson and George Raft.
Tough as they were, Flynn
made 'em look like tabby cats.
Bogart Growled Admiration
A few years before his death
Bogart growled grudging admira
tion for the young FTynn of the
mid 1930s.
"We were all working hard in
those days, taking a lot of abuse
from the big shots whenever we

this big Irish palooka comes
along and makes screaming head
lines with his romances and stuff.
"The studio brass would give
all of us heavies hell for weeks,
but Flynn would charm his' way
out of the dog house in five min
utes." Flynn always admitted he was
something less than a great ac
tcr, but from his very first lead
ing role the magnetism of star
dom came . across.
After playing a corpse in his
first picture. "The Case of The
Curious Bride," he was assigned
a miniscule role in a Turkey
titled "Don't Bet On Blondes." It
was enough for Flynn's engaging.
guileless grin to catch the eye of
the Brothers Warner.
Star In "Captain Blood"1
In his third movie he starred
in the title role of "Captain
Blood." Like they say in Holly
wood, he became a star over
night. Love scenes and fights duels,
fist fights, wrestling matches- and
barroom brawls were his cine
matic strong points, perhaps his
only points as a performer.
These limited talents were
enough to earn him 10 million
dollars and world wide fame.
When he appeared in dull movies
the public forgave him his pri
vate life more than making up
for the duds.
In 1942 he played his biggest
off-screen role during a lurid
court battle in which he was ac
cused of statutory rape by Pejgy
La-ue Satterlee, 16. and Betty
Hansen, 17.
It was a front page carnival
throughout the fall and winter of
that year. He won the case and
his popularity soared.
Then there ere his fights.
Flynn a f'rmcr amateur boxer
was sort of an uncrowned
champ of the bistro-weights.
Going to the Dogs
Nightclub outings frequently re
sulted in brawls. Among Flynn's
opoonents were Canadian million
aire Duncan McMartin, Daa Top
ping, Jimmy Fidler and director
John llustcn. . N ,'v
Appeared In Costume Epics
An imieccable dresser off
screen, the dashing playboy rare
ly appeared in films other than
costume epics. He cut a mighty
figure in tights, flaring capes
and boots. '
At the height of his career, in
the early 40s, Flynn became a
social lion among Hollywood's
elite. He held a position some
what similar to Frank Sinatra's
current pinnacle high llama of
the high livers.
He bought a huge white ranch
house atop Mulholland Drive,
overlooking both the Pacific
Ocean and Los Angeles in one
side, and the San Fernanlo .Val
ley on the other. He entoitained
lavishly, lustily and, accorling to
his critics, lasciviously. ' i 1
But Flynn was no crudefrough
neck. ' His home was tasbfully
furnished and suoerb art works
from every corner of the rvorld
crowded the rooms. t
Asked about the house shirtly
before his death, he said it had
gone for taxes, adding. "On of
my wives nationalized it."i He
was deeply fond of the home, but
he would rather make jokei than
let anyone suspect the sentiment
he felt. ii
As his career zoomed from
"Chtrge cf The Light Brigade"
to "The Adventures of Robin
Ho d" to "Gentleman Jin," Er
rol Flynn was one of the busiest
and most successful sUrs in
Hollywood, ar.d he speet the
rroney as fast as it rolled in
on fast cars, fast women and
slow yachts. '
