Tyrone Power

This book presents the first substantial academic study of Tyrone Power and employs a range of approaches, including stardom and genre theory, to reappraise his career from various angles including gender, genre and image.

One of the most popular actors of the Classical Hollywood period, Tyrone Powers appeal was initially based around his outstanding beauty, his looks remaining key to his star persona throughout his 25-year career and almost 50 films. This book presents the first substantial academic study of Power and employs a range of approaches, including stardom and genre theory, to reappraise his career from various angles including gender, genre and image. Textual analysis coincides with discussions of Powers multi-layered performances in a variety of genres while engaging with industry systems, specifically Twentieth Century-Fox, his home studio for almost two decades, and situates Powers performances within the contexts of industry regulations, such as the Production Code, and industry technological advances, such as CinemaScope.
