Errol Flynn was not anti-semitic, and had no sympathies for the Nazis whatsover.
"It had never occurred to me whether a man was Jewish or not. A man is a man; If he is a man, I don't give a damn what color he is, or what race, or religion." - Errol Flynn
It's a vicious smear that was invented by a sleazy 'biographer' of Flynn's named Charles Higham. Higham's book is a pack of lies, and it has been proven a pack of lies, but the rumor still seems to persist. I know that it infuriated Errol's friends, like David Niven and Olivia deHaviland. Sadly, as Flynn himself once observed, "It isn`t what they say about you, it`s what they whisper."
