If you buy no other Tyrone Power book, this should be it. Privately published by Gary Hamann, it's a compilation of positively everything that was published on Power from the major Hollywood and L.A. press during the 30's! To say this is exhaustive research would be an understatement. Gary Hamman's T. Power research for this decade cannot be topped. Also contains many theatre ads, newspaper ads, ads for Power movie premiers, etc. (all in black and white). Truly a beauty of a book and clearly rare and one of a kind. Gary Hamman has done the same for a large number of stars and directors and all his books are excellent! 105 Pages. TYRONE POWER IN THE 30's; Edited by Gary D. Hamann.

This is a very unusual tome on this legendary matinee idol and Hollywood star. It was the first book to present not only Power as a Hollywood star, but delve into the many complexities which made him not only a beloved Hollywood star, but also a troubled man and dedicated actor. Highly recommended for those who want to know about Power's stage training before being lured to Hollywood and the many reasons he was admired on stage, particularly for his deeply resonant voice. This biography was perhaps the first to reveal Tyrone Power's inner conflict and battles with his mutual attraction to both men and women and the desire to be loved by both; feelings that troubled him throughout his life. ".....this is the first biography which tries to show how these intense feelings influenced everything he did, whether it was his many roles on film, radio, and stage, or in his personal relationships with both men and women, and lifetime dreams and goals, in addition to his drinking and smoking habits, which obviously shortened his life. Highly recommended reading for those not only interested in Tyrone Power the actor, but also the man behind those unforgettable creations on both stage and screen, making him a favorite actor of millions of fans throughout the world not only during his lifetime, but to this very day.

During the seventies the wonderful writing team of James Robert Parish and Don E. Stake turned out some of the most unique film books ever put in print. Extremely well researched and written, while highlighting stars that weren't such obvious choices either (i.e. Jane Greer, Lupe Velez, etc.). The book consists of eight self-contained biographies. Along with Tyrone Power, the other seven "swashbucklers" are Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Errol Flynn, Ronald Colman, Victor Mature, Cornel Wilde, Stewart Granger and Tony Curtis. Each chapter is a comprehensive review of their lives, films and careers. Featured photos, critical reviews, complete case and credits and insightful and informative background discussion by the book's authors. Also includes excellent biographical information for each star. Still, interest wanes a bit after the "top four" [i.e. Fairbanks, Flynn, Power and Coleman]. Some other books by Parish and/or Stake are: "The Debonairs", "The Fox Girls," "The Paramount Pretties," "The Glamour Girls," "The Funsters," "The RKO Gals" "The Tough Guys," ?The MGM Stock Company," "The Slapstick Queens," "God Dames," "Hollywood's Great Love Teams" (see below-great book!) et al.

Fun book by the late, acerbic film critic/historian Leslie Halliwell, on his famous "100." Halliwell was a respected and sought-after critic, whose tomes were invaluable in many respects. For several years Halliwell appendiced his favorite 100 films in his many film guide books, and finally decided to devote a book to these select films, themselves. One may not always agree with his, at times acid-twinged opinions (he calls Power 'fat' as Zorro, for one!), but they are neverless great fun to read.

From Publishers Weekly: Stanley Kubrick's The Killing touted as being "In All Its Fury and Violence...Like No Other Picture Since 'SCARFACE' and 'LITTLE CAESAR'!" Bay Area mystery writer Muller (his novel Shadow Boxer will be reviewed in the Dec. 9 issue of PW) describes the various styles employed by the studio system, all designed for, in the charming vernacular of theater owners, "putting asses in the seats"; the idiosyncratic promo for Sudden Fear has Joan Crawford staring luridly over a male figure's shoulder at a miniaturized Gloria Grahame embracing Jack Palance. With a clear love for and expertise in his subject matter, Muller tracks the evolution of the form through 275 posters (338 full-color illustrations in all), many of them full-page plates, which look nothing short of smashing in the book's oversize, 10 x 14 format. A series of foreign posters reveal how artists outside the studio system were able to convey a great deal of the films' psychological complexity in a single, giant image. The variety, style and color here, representing films familiar (The Postman Always Rings Twice) and forgotten (The Big Tip Off, starring Cathy Downs), will be enticing to any fan of noir or mid-century American history. ART OF NOIR: The Posters and Graphics from the Classic Era of Film Noir.

Well researched and written biography of the gorgeous and tragic Linda Darnell by Professor Emeritus at Southern Methodist University, Ronald L. Davis. A frequent co-star of Tyrone Power (they were both under contract at 20th Century Fox) she and Power were truly one of the most stunning couples to hit the silver screen. After the failure of her attempted star-making turn in "Forever Amber," Darnell went on to smaller roles but turned in some of her most effective performances in films such as "A Letter to Three Wives" and "No Way Out." She died tragically in a fire at the very young age of 44. HOLLYWOOD BEAUTY: Linda Darnell and the American Dream; by Ronald A.
