The Big Love is a non-fiction scandalous biographical account of an alleged love affair between actor Errol Flynn and then fifteen-year-old actress Beverly Aadland, as told by her mother, Florence Aadland.

The original 1961 edition was first published by Lancer Books. A Warner Books Edition was released in 1986. This edition contained an epilogue by co-author Tedd Thomey, commenting on Florence Aadland's life and death, and her imprisonment. The Big Love was republished, along with supplemental materials, in 2018 by Spurl Editions. ^[1]

The book was reviewed by William Styron, a reprint of which appears in This Quiet Dust, and Other Writings.

Stage adaptation

In 1991, actress Tracey Ullman played Florence in a one-woman show by Brooke Allen, directed by Jay Presson Allen, based on the book. ^{[2] [3]}
