Tyrone Power, born May 5, 1914, was one of those thoroughly underrated actors who get caught in the ‘pretty face’ trap. Even though he was ridiculously good-looking, Power was capable of some very powerful acting, and perhaps if he’d lived longer (he died of a heart attack when he was just 44 years old), he may well have been recognised as a stalwart actor as well. But, to celebrate his birthday, Dusted Off did a special ‘Tyrone Power Week’: reviews of his films, a list of ten great Power films, and (of course!) a ‘Ty candy’ post. Here’s a complete list of the posts during Tyrone Power week:
Who is this man?
Nightmare Alley (1947)
Witness for the Prosecution (1957)
Ten ‘Powerful’ Films
