The Perfect Specimen (1937)
It doesn’t take any imagination to understand why Errol Flynn was cast as the title character in The Perfect Specimen. The premise of this light comedy is akin to Twins: a physically perfect man is reared and instructed in a controlled environment, given proper nutrition and the best academic lessons. When he gets a taste of the outside world, of course, all that work is thrown out the window!
It’s tough to picture Errol Flynn feeling incomplete without a lady’s affections, and it’s even tougher to picture irritating reporter Joan Blondell as the woman tormenting him. However, that’s the storyline. I found the same fault with this movie as I do with all others of its type: why can’t the perfect specimen be happy in his perfect surroundings? Why does he (or she, in other movies) always prefer rolling around in the muck to a well-ordered, calm life? Still, if you don’t mind that lesson, you can check this one out. It always puts me in a good mood to watch an Errol Flynn movie, and a sub-par one is better than nothing!
