Not a movie review
When I woke up this morning (well, afternoon), I came downstairs to find my mother watching an old movie. The part where I came in had a troupe graduating from West Point in 1854. The camera zoomed in on one of the men, 'Ooh! He's dashing!' 'Look who's next to him: Ronald Reagan.' 'Okay, yeah, but who cares, I'm watching that one!' And so I kept watching, because yowzah.
After awhile my mom and I had to pause it to go do things, at which point I looked at the dvd cover because I simply had to know who this dashing young man was. Errol Flynn. In my defense, I've never actually seen him in anything, and it was out of context because he wasn't swashbuckling, and at this point in the movie he didn't have his trademark pencil-line mustache. But good gracious he was a handsome fellow. Also, I couldn't help but smile that my word of choice had been 'dashing' before I knew who it was. Go me.
And him. For being dashing.
And him. For being dashing.

There's got to be a picture of him in the dictionary next to the word "dashing"!! And "yowzah". I didn't know what he looked like, actually. Or that he was a real person! What Flynn Rider based off of him in Tangled?
i'm sure that's where they got the name. eugene refers to the actual flynn as the swashbuckling hero who's not to shabby with the ladies. ;)
errol flynn is also the type of man they were looking for when they cast cary elwes as westley in 'princess bride.' :)
i don't know how errol the owl fits into all this. ;)
*Googling Errol Flynn...*
oh do. it's quite enjoyable. ;)
oh, but apparently don't read about him, because that will take off a lot of that sheen
