{"product_id":"book-h0a9","title":"Tyrone Power: The Life and Legacy of One of Hollywood's Most Famous Swashbucklers","description":"\u003cp\u003eHollywood has never lacked leading men who could captivate viewers with dramatic performances that depict them as suave romantics or dashing heroes, especially during the Golden Age of Hollywood, when stars like Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, and Cary Grant graced screens. But in the mid-20th century, one of the most popular stars was a man who's been frequently overlooked.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome actors were recruited based on their appearance alone, signing contracts before taking screen tests or ever having been on a stage or set. Others became overnight sensations, darlings of the public for decades. Only a few of these turned out to be excellent actors, but one of them was certainly Tyrone Power, one of Hollywood's leading men from the 1930s into the 1950s. With a career spanning over 50 films, Power did not have to work through the system, rising to the top almost immediately at the age of 22. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower was named \"King of the Movies\" for three straight years (1939 -1941) by fans, and while critics claimed that his success came from his good looks, today he is acknowledged as a good actor, among the most underestimated of this era. Power starred in a variety of film genres, and at least some contemporaries made note of his \"remarkable acting range.\" This included several musicals such as \u003cem\u003eAlexander's Ragtime Band\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSecond Fiddle\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRose of Washington\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSquare\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eEddy Duchin Story\u003c\/em\u003e. He also made appearances in several dramas, including \u003cem\u003eJohnny Apollo\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWitness for the Prosecution\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCrash Drive\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Razor's Edge\u003c\/em\u003e. Power was even known for a good comedic sense in films like \u003cem\u003eThe Luck of the Irish\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThat Wonderful Urge\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eLove is News\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49414493962544,"sku":"BDh0a9","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/h0a9-Square-cover.jpg?v=1772117513","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-h0a9","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
