Coming to DVD: Tyrone Power Collection, Vol. 2
Tyrone Power fans, this is your lucky summer. :) The Tyrone Power Matinee Idol Collection, which I first wrote about briefly in March, comes to DVD this July 29, 2008.
This set includes a whopping 10 Power films on 5 discs. The titles are as follows: THE LUCK OF THE IRISH, JOHNNY APOLLO, DAY-TIME WIFE, CAFE METROPOLE, GIRLS' DORMITORY, I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU, THAT WONDERFUL URGE, LOVE IS NEWS, THIS ABOVE ALL, and SECOND HONEYMOON.
Some of these titles, like DAY-TIME WIFE, are relatively unknown films I'd never dreamed would come to DVD. What a treat!
The leading ladies in these films include favorite actresses such as Loretta Young (three titles), Gene Tierney, and Linda Darnell.
According to a review at Amazon, extras will include Loretta Young's daughter, Judy Lewis, discussing her mother's friendship with Tyrone Power.
Fox did a beautiful job with the first set of Power movies released a year ago, and this should be another wonderful package for fans of classic films.

For people in LA, there will be a big tribute to Power on November 14, 15 and 16 at the Egyptian Theatre, hosted by American Cinematheque. It's in conjunction with the annual memorial service on November 15. Hopefully there will also be one at Lincoln Center next year.
Thanks very much for sharing that info, Mrs. R. It sounds wonderful!
Best wishes,
Laura
