Editing Errol Flynn (section)

===Post-war career===
Flynn tried comedy again with ''[[Never Say Goodbye (1946 film)|Never Say Goodbye]]'' (1946), a comedy of remarriage opposite [[Eleanor Parker]], but it was not a success, grossing $1.77&nbsp;million in the U.S. In 1946, Flynn published an adventure novel, ''[[Showdown (Flynn novel)|Showdown]]'', and earned a reported $184,000 ({{Inflation|US|184000|1946|r=-4|fmt=eq}}).<ref>{{cite news|title=M'Carey's Wage of $1,113,035 Year's Highest: Treasury Report Places Film Producer First|work=Chicago Daily Tribune|date=17 June 1946|page=6}}</ref> ''[[Cry Wolf (1947 film)|Cry Wolf]]'' (1947) was a thriller with Flynn in a seemingly more villainous role. It was a moderate success at the box office. He was in a melodrama, ''[[Escape Me Never (1947 film)|Escape Me Never]]'' (1947), filmed in early 1946 but not released until late 1947, which lost money. More popular was a Western with Walsh and [[Ann Sheridan]], ''[[Silver River (film)|Silver River]]'' (1948). This was a hit, although its high cost meant it was not very profitable. Flynn drank so heavily on the set that he was effectively disabled after noon-hour, and a disgusted Walsh terminated their business relationship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://homepages.sover.net/~ozus/silverriver.htm|title=silverriver|website=homepages.sover.net|access-date=8 June 2018|archive-date=11 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171211211808/http://homepages.sover.net/~ozus/silverriver.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> Warners tried returning Flynn to swashbucklers and the result was ''[[Adventures of Don Juan]]'' (1948). The film was very successful, becoming Warner Bros.' 4th-biggest hit of the year. As with some other Flynn films, it was more popular in Europe than the States, grossing $3.1&nbsp;million there and $2.1&nbsp;million in the U.S., with total earnings of $4.7&nbsp;million on an approximate budget of $3.25&nbsp;million. However, from this point on, Warner Bros. reduced the budgets of Flynn's films. In November 1947, Flynn signed a 15-year contract with [[Warner Bros.]] for $225,000 per film.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/variety168-1947–12#page/n195/mode/1up "Flynn's Fancy WB Pact"], ''Variety'', December 1947.
