Fox Movie Channel in the United States shows it with some regularity. This is Tyrone Power at the peak of his popularity, and physicality. He was on the brink of going to war to serve his country, which was in peril. And he served it well. Rathbone was the perfect villain. (The only caveat is that he was dispatched too soon.) Type casting as villains and as Sherlock Holmes was later to disillusion him and hasten his return to his first love, the stage. <br /><br />You are correct, as much as I like Linda Darnell, she had little to do here but look good. But that is the kind of film it was. “The Scarlet Pimpernel” type formula of a supposed weakling being the hero of the piece has long been” with us. I enjoyed the photos and also knowing that Tyrone Power is still appreciated. Best. Gerald.Gordon Pashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177101489742741815noreply@blogger.com
