Editorial Reviews

Johnny Apollo (1940, 94 min.) To save his father, a young man turns to crime and gets caught up in more than he bargained for. When Bob Cain (Tyrone Power), learns his stockbroker father is mixed up in embezzlement, with shame he drops out of college and denounces him. After losing everything that matters, Cain soon comes to his father's aid and vows to pay his debt by any means. He hooks up with racketeer Mickey Dwyer (Lloyd Nolan) and assumes the name Johnny Apollo. But Dwyer's, gal Lucky DuBarry (Dorothy Lamour) has eyes for Johnny and before long she's the only one Johnny can trust. Day-Time Wife (1939, 72 min.) When a naughty husband is suspected of having an extra-marital affair, his wife decides all's fair in love and war. After being married for two years, Ken Norton (Tyrone Power) is itching for something more; namely his young secretary Kitty (Wendy Barrie). But when Ken's wife Jane (Linda Darnell) suspects hanky-panky, she evens the score by taking a secretarial job with Ken's business associate Bernard Dexter (Warren William). Things really heat up when Ken and Jane accidentally meet at a restaurant with their dates!

This review is from: Johnny Apollo DVD (1940) Tyrone Power, Dorothy Lamour / Day-Time Wife (1939) Tyrone Power / Double Feature Movie (DVD)

If you have ever dreamed of stumbling onto an undiscovered gem of romantic comedy, Day-Time Wife is your film. As the neglected young wife turned secretary, Linda Darnell (then only 15 years old) delivers one of the most memorable film performances of the 1930s. Tyrone Power (the wayward husband) and Warren William (the lecherous boss) provide sparkling performances as well. This movie is as intoxicating as vintage champagne! In 1939 the director of Day Time Wife also directed Intermezzo (Ingrid Bergman's first Hollywood film).

Johnny Apollo is an interesting film but one that is not quite so unexpected.

This review is from: Johnny Apollo DVD (1940) Tyrone Power, Dorothy Lamour / Day-Time Wife (1939) Tyrone Power / Double Feature Movie (DVD)

Wall St tycoon,Robert Cain(Edward Arnold)is sent to prison for selling bad stock.His son,Bob(Tyrone Power)wants to raise money to get his father out,but nobody will hire him because of his father.Even his dads lawyer(Lionel Atwill)is little help.
Disgusted by his fathers exfriends Bob meets local mobster,Mickey Dwyer(Llyod Nolan)Dwyers shifty lawyer,Emmett The Judge,Brennan(Charles Grapewin)and Mickeys mistress,Lucky(Dorothy Lamour)Dwyer takes a liking to Bob(Who changes his name to Johnny Apollo)and joins his mob,much to the delight of Lucky whos falling for him.
Soon,Johnny,Dwyer,and the others get involved in illegal gambling and are arrested and sent to prison where Robert Cain is being held.
Betty Grable was the first pick to play Lucky.
Charles Grapewin who plays Dwyers ill fated lawyer will best be remembered for Uncle Henry in The Wizard Of Oz.
Classic Film.Dont Miss.
