Reportedly, ERROL FLYNN snatched JOHN BARRYMORE’s corpse from the morgue and took his late pal out for some morbid after-life carousing. Bullsh*t or NOT? The ENQUIRER sets the story straight.
According to the swashbuckler’s memoirs “My Wicked, Wicked Ways”, two-fisted director Raoul Walsh "borrowed" Barrymore's stone-cold body from the mortuary when the master thespian died May 29, 1942.
Back then, in the golden era of Hollywood, Barrymore, Flynn and others of the Bundy Drive Gang made the latter day Rat Pack seem like Cub Scouts when it came to excessive boozing, whoring and carousing.
To no one’s surprise, when Flynn learned his mentor and longtime-drinking buddy Barrymore had died suddenly, he went on an out-of-control bender with Raoul Walsh to drown their sorrows at the Cock and Bull Bar.
