This is a priceless piece of information about Hollywood's last great matinee idol, the beloved Tyrone Power, with wonderful candid pictures of him with his friends and family, and with a few humorous outtakes from his movies. Intelligent and warm, compassionate and sincere, we meet some of the people who were closest to him and hear from their own lips what he meant to those who knew him well enough to call him friend. A beautiful tribute to a beautiful man.

I highly recommend this video biography to all fans of Tyrone Power. It is a very positive presentation of his personal life and career. There are several interviews with Annabella, Alice Faye and others who knew him well. There are many excellent film clips from some of his best movies. This video is a must for fans of Tyrone Power.

This biography is indeed a treasure for all those who admired and loved the late Tyrone Power. It is full of information and photos, never before seen. It includes narrations from family, friends and biographer, Fred Guiles( who wrote'The Last Idol' about Tyrone Power) Wonderful entertainment!

This is an absolutely wonderful documentary on the great movie star Tyrone Power, not only probably the most handsome man in Hollywood history but clearly one of the nicest and most beloved off screen HOWEVER... don't buy this video!!! Buy the DVD MARK OF ZORRO instead because you will get THIS VERY DOCUMENTARY ON THAT DVD plus a beautiful print of one of Tyrone's greatest triumphs!! And it's cheaper too!! You're welcome!

I loved this biography. It is amazing that this material is available so many years after Ty Power's death. He was truly a super-star, and, thanks to sources like A & E and Amazon, he lives on in the many films he made in his all-too-short life.

Daryl F. Zanuck, the head of 20th century Fox called Power the 'dullest man he'd ever met'. I couldn't disagree more.

This biography portrays Power as a charming, thoughtful and witty personality. Though he never achieved his full potential as an actor, I believe he more than did that as a person.

So impressed was I with this bio, I went out and found a copy of The Last Idol by Fred Guiles immediately. The TV bio was more honest than the book, particularly about Powers' sexual ambiguity. The books forces one to read between the lines, whereas the TV bio tells it like it was. He wanted to be all things to all people, and I think he was.

I highly recommend this bio, even if you're not a Ty Power fan.
