Stream Tyrone Power Collection Movie Online.
Movie Title: Tyrone Power Collection Tyrone Power Collection is available for streaming or downloading. |
While calling this a ‘Swashbuckler’ collection is misleading (these aren’t the swordfighting, acrobatic adventures synonymous with Fairbanks, Flynn, Lancaster, or even Power, in “The Mark of Zorro”), these are vastly entertaining films, and Tyrone Power is always a joy of watch!

The oldest of the films, “Blood and Sand”, is the strangest entry of the collection; while the other films are historical epics, this technicolor morality tale, told in a bullfight saga, was released in pre-WWII 1941. A remake of Rudolph Valentino’s 1922 silent classic, Power is the fearless matador loved by sweet Linda Darnell, but corrupted by sophisticated vixen Rita Hayworth (being groomed for stardom at the time). The fun of this film isn’t so much the drama, however, as the beauty of Power and Hayworth, and a fabulous supporting cast, including Anthony Quinn, Laird Cregar, and John Carradine; watch for future ‘Superman’ George Reeves in a small role!
“Son of Fury” (1942) is best-known as the film that helped launch Gene Tierney’s career, and the sad swansong of Frances Farmer’s attempted comeback, but it is closer in spirit to “Anthony Adverse” than swashbuckler. Supposedly illegitimate Power is abused by sadistic uncle George Sanders, and flees to the South Seas to gain the wealth to contest his status, falling for island girl Tierney. Don’t miss the climactic fistfight between Power and Sanders; it’s nearly as spectacular as the Wayne/Scott brawl in “The Spoilers”!

The end of WWII brought a new ‘consciousness’ to historical epics, and Power’s films would be among the best, marred only by some poorly-cast leading ladies. “Captain from Castile” (1947) offered the one exception, sultry Jean Peters; while the concept was similar to “Son of Fury” (hero goes overseas…Mexico, this time…seeking fortune and fame to clear name), the film benefits from breathtaking Technicolor Mexican locations (watch for the active volcanoes!), a first-rate cast, including Cesar Romero (fabulous as Cortez), and Alfred Newman’s unforgettable score. “Prince of Foxes” (1949), first of two Power teamings with Orson Welles, is one of Hollywood’s first ‘intellectual’ epics; In 16th certury Italy, a pretender (Power), gains the confidence of legendary Cesare Borgia (Welles), who uses Power’s wiles to win cities in his plan to conquer and unite Italy. Unfortunately, conscience (in the form of miscast Wanda Hendrix), would get in the way! “The Black Rose” (1950), set in 13th century Britain, completes the collection; again, Power goes to foreign lands (this time, China) to win a fortune, and save his Saxon family’s estate and honor, accompanied by loyal Jack Hawkins (who nearly steals the film). He enters the service of exotic General Bayan (Welles), and wins the heart of captive Cecile Aubry (easily the worst of Power’s leading ladies), bringing China’s wonders back to the West. Produced in England, on a smaller budget, the film lacks the ’sweep’ of the other titles, and Power (at 36) is getting a bit old to be playing youths, but it is still entertaining!
For Tyrone Power’s many fans (including me), finally seeing these titles on DVD is a cause to celebrate, and one hopes that more of his film work will soon be available!
With this 5-DVD set, 20th Century Fox is finally doing justice to its great star and huge box office winner for many years, Tyrone Power. Included: Blood and Sand, Son of Fury, The Black Rose, The Prince of Foxes, and The Captain from Castile.
Fox has really gone all the way with this one, with the inclusion of postcard-sized lobby cards and four exquisite features, including excellent commentary, isolated scores of Captain from Castile and Prince of Foxes that are INCREDIBLE, and many other elements. I do not feel that Fox took the cheap way out at all. Through Warner Brothers in the past has had more output than Fox, Warners recently has not given the attention to their DVD sets as Fox has on this Power set. I have been critical of Fox in the past for their DVD production, but I think they’re trying to make up for it now. It’s a beautifully compiled set.
Three of the films are in color: Blood and Sand, The Black Rose, and The Captain from Castile. The color in Blood and Sand is excellent; in fact, there is a commentary by Richard Crudo, Pres. of American Society of Cinematographers who speaks about this film. The split-screen technique shows the beauty of the restoration.
Son of Fury is in black and white - there is some light flickering contrast but I think the picture looks great, using a dual-layering process.
The first two reels of Captain From Castile has some color problems but after that it’s fine - and the score is a treasure. Make sure to listen to the isolated score by Randy Newman that is offered. It’s also an excellent film, with great performances.
Actually I don’t entirely agree with the negative review of the Prince of Foxes quality - it’s not perfect but the black and white is fine, and I thoroughly loved watching the film. Again, the score is sensational.
My least favorite film in the set is The Black Rose, which as one reviewer suggests, was added because The Black Swan and Zorro had already seen release. However, the color is probably the best of the set.
I hope Fox will continue with another Power series and include Lloyds of London, I’ll Never Forget You, Suez, and other of this fine actor’s films.
