Re: Power-full Day on TCM

Most definitely agree--it was wonderful that they gave a full day to Ty, but I do agree that the comments were too ordinary or skimming the surface. (The bio they had online was pretty thorough.)

However, I also agree that if this raised awareness of Tyrone Power for new fans, let's hope it succeeded, and then more of his films might be shown on TCM.

I also felt that Lloyd's of London should have been on Ty's day, not Freddie Bartholomew's day. That didn't make any sense to me being this was the film that put him on the map as a major star. Unless, of course, it was to help tease Tyrone's films on the 25th . . .

Anyway, thank you TCM for giving Ty a special day for himself.

Re: Power-full Day on TCM

Agreed and I'll take anything at this point for, as you say, he is woefully underrepresented...on TV and otherwise.

I *really* was hoping that we would get a short 'film' during the ads/shorts between films, a.k.a. the other actors featured, but no such luck. It looks like they rehashed the spotlights usually played for their "Star of the Month" :-(! (It would be nice if they could have put something for TP--ah well !!
