Tyrone Power Matinee Idol Collection 
Some early work by the charismatic Power,three with Loretta Young in 1937,along with seven other memorable films.My favorites are CAFE METROPOLE,the underrated LOVE IS NEWS,JOHNNY APOLLO,and the enchanting THE LUCK OF THE IRISH.Fox has commentary on most of their DVD's,but only four featurettes here.Still,the price can't be beat!Leading ladies also include Linda Darnell,Dorothy Lamour,Gene Tierney,Joan Fontaine,Anne Baxter,Ann Blyth and Simone Simon(debut)-quite a stable of beauties!Not much filler here,so... more info

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!
