Tyrone Power Collection (Blood and Sand / Son of Fury / The Black Rose / Prince of Foxes / The Captain from Castile)

The sound on this Captain from Castile DVD was not what I had heard in the theatre! Instead off the rich surround sound it was dull and muted. Very disappointing!

This a disappointing collection:
"Prince of Foxes". in my opinion the best of the bunch, it could have been better if not by the fatal miscasting of Wanda Hendrix.
"Blood and Sand", as another reviewer pointed out, should have died with Valentino.
"Captain from Castile" although a nice looking film, it is so historically inaccurate and Cesar Romero as Cortez! Had the casting agent done some research he could have found that the reason why Cortez was able to trick the Aztecs was because of his golden hair and golden beard, so the natives thought that he was the "White God" that was supposed to come. But as in most cases he went for the sterotype: Spanish=Dark.
"The Black Rose", the worst of the collection.Silly!!
"Son of Fury", perhaps the most pleasant and enjoyable.
If you want to see "The Best of Tyrone Power", here is my list:
"Witness for the Prosecution"; "Nightmare Alley"; "In Old Chicago"; "The Razor's Edge" and for great adventure, "The Mark of Zorro"
This will be really a great collection to watch even if you pay much more!

This collection of Tyrone Power's great movies. I love old movies
and these won't disappoint anyone!

I was a huge Tyrone Power fan when I was a kid and with the release of quite a few of his movies on DVD (about time Fox) I've rediscovered him.
The movies on this pack are all wonderful starting with Blood and Sand (4 stars) it gets better the more I see it, Son of Fury (4 stars) A real surprise, Captain from Castille (4 stars) not quite as good as I remember but still very good, Prince of Foxes (4.5 stars) the best movie in the pack and The Black Rose (4 stars) the movie I remember the most and why people keep saying this is one of his weakest movies I've got no idea as I loved it when I was a kid and still like it now.
I honestly cannot understand how anyone could give this great collection 1 star.
I'd recommend it to anyone along with the Matinee Idol Collection which I'll comment on a little later on.

I always liked Tyrone Power, but this set is nothing but a collection of "B" movies. Some of the scenes are too funny to be believed and, while Power is a timeless hero, these producers, writers, & directors made him look ridiculous. The only really good film is Prince of Foxes. Blood and Sand should have died with Valentino. Captain from Castile may look good, but it is sadly dated by its heroic depiction of Cortes and the stereotyped portrayal of the Aztecs as if they were rich Redskins. Ugh!
