Basil Rathbone

This is a quote by Basil Rathbone describing Errol Flynn I thought it quite perceptive and I think describes Flynn to a tee. What do you all think?

“God gave him the most beautiful body. He’s intelligent. He can act. He arrived very fast. He arrived almost overnight. And he simply wasn’t ready, he wasn’t sufficiently well disciplined in life to know that he had to conform. Now he has made non-conformity a sort-of idiosyncrasy. It’s now almost a big bluff, because he’s thrown a very wonderful career out of the window.”

Movie Story January 1938 (?)
