If Tyrone Power weren't such a wonderful actor, I'm pretty sure I'd...still be drooling and going ga-ga over him.

Thanks for sharing this feaito ... I copied your post here and I will be checking most of these out as I continue to check these out ...feaito wrote: "Crash Dive" (1943), "Witness for the Prosecution" (1957), "The Rains Came" (1939), "Nightmare Alley" (1947), "The Razor's Edge" (1946), "Blood and Sand" (1941), "The Mark of Zorro" (1940), "Captain from Castile" (1947), "Son of Fury" (1942), are all among my very favorite adventure and/or dramatic films, and I saw most of them for the first time as a child.
I have also seen "The Long Gray Line" (1954), "The Eddy Duchin Story" (1956), "The Sun Also Rises" (1957), "King of Khyber Rifles" (1951), "Mississippi Gambler" (1955), "The Black Swan" (1942), "Prince of Foxes" (1949), "Marie Antoinette" (1938), "Jesse James" (1939), "A Yank in the RAF" (1941), "In Old Chicago" (1938), "Rose of Washington Square" (1939), "Second Fiddle" (1939), "Alexander's Ragtime Band" (1938), "Suez" (1938) and they are all good.
I'd like to see again another film that impressed me as a kid: the rousing adventure film "Untamed" (1955) with Susan Hayward.

As I recall, the Frankie Laine song is actually not featured in the Tyrone Power movie Rawhide (1951), but rather in the television series Rawhide (1959-1965). Confusing, isn't it? I just thought I'd mention it so you won't be disappointed by the lack of a Frankie theme song.feaito wrote:Hi Stone, Have not seen that one; it's on my "Pending" List. I have wanted to see it ever since I heard for the first time the title tune sung by Frankie Laine, back in the 1970s....Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look for it.

Perhaps I wouldn't go that far but I do like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin who can't be compared in looks to Tyrone Power.RedRiver wrote:You prefer the Donald Meek type?
I have to say, that gave me quite a chuckle.RedRiver wrote:You prefer the Donald Meek type?
Buster Keaton I could never call handsome, but he has an interesting face. Lots of character. Not infrequently I find myself drawn to researching and watching certain actors who have no claim to good looks, if something in their appearance/manner/persona interests me. There are certain actors who are considered handsome but who I can't stand watching --- looks aren't enough, they have to have some personality and vitality (not to mention talent.) Tyrone Power had it all.charliechaplinfan wrote:Perhaps I wouldn't go that far but I do like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin who can't be compared in looks to Tyrone Power.
