Beam Ends


Beam Ends is a 1937 semi-autobiographical novel by Australian actor Errol Flynn. Upon publication, reviews positioned the book variously as fiction and non-fiction. It was understood as "a graphic account of an adventurous and almost fatal trip that made in a small schooner from Australia to New Guinea." Another reviewer purported that it "deals at length on Sydney days, and his subsequent voyage up the east coast of Australia."
Beam Ends was Flynn's first novel, although he had written nonfiction for many years.

Film adaptation

In 2018, the book was adapted by Australian director Russell Mulcahy. It was released under the title In Like Flynn.
