Rating:  - Good package but many mediocre films
Tyrone Power was once quoted as saying that many of his films were a "monument to public patience", a telling remark hinting at the frustration which he often felt as a matinee idol rather than a highly respected actor. This DVD collection contains many examples of the former and a couple which give evidence of a talent of greater depth. The films also are a monument to the skill with which Daryl F. Zanuck promoted Power as a box office idol.

Rating:  - Matinee Magic
Talk about getting your money's worth. Perhaps one of the best purchases you'll ever make. It's not just Power (who is excellent), but the fact that these are purely entertaining well-scripted enjoyable films. Great transfers. Any 5 (of 10) films here would be worth the price. Joan Fontaine, Ann Blyth, Loretta Young, Gene Tierney Dorothy Lamour, Anne Baxter, Linda Darnell and others- all beautiful, all wonderfully cast. A must-have!
Rating: - Tyrone Power -Forgotten Matinee Idol

Rating: - Good for hollywood vintage comedies fans
I really appreciate this box with the loveliest Tyrone Power. The comedies are charming and amusing, and Tyrone is so handsome. For fans only.
Rating:  - Old school
C'est du vieil Hollywood, des comédies qui ont très mal vieillies. Les femmes sont belles mais les intrigues sont insignifiantes. Ou bien il s'agit d'un couple marié, et ils se disputeront durant une heure avant de se réconcilier à la fin, ou bien ils ne sont pas encore mariés et ils le seront à la fin du film, après bien des quiproquos sans intérêt.
C'est laborieux, c'est très "bourgeois" et si l'on évoque l'adultère, on ne franchit jamais le pas. Quant au sexe, il n'existe pas.
