Actor in
a whole bunch of
romantic adventure movies from the
thirties and onward. Lots of
swashbuckling,
Robin Hooding, and rescuing of some
damsel in distress or other,
fencing with
flair and
elegance against some
evil tyrant or
villain, always accompanied by his trusty sidekick, his
moustache.
When caught unarmed whilst sneaking away from the evil lord, no one could jump up on the table and grab the ornamental
rapier conveniently hanging on a nearby wall with such
agility as Errol.
Whenever threatened with imminent
decapitation in some fight for a
noble cause, all Errol had to do was laugh his triumphant "Ha-haa!"-laugh and mow down the astonished antagonists with a few quick swipes and thrusts.
A classic
Hollywood hero on film, quite the
piano-playing bastard in real life.
