Tyrone Power Collections

[Lino]

From Barrie Maxwell's Classic Coming Attractions over at the Bits:

Fox also has a Tyrone Power collection in the works with a likely summer release. It would include Son of Fury (1942), Captain from Castile (1947), Prince of Foxes (1949), and The Black Rose (1950).

[Foulard]

These should be fun, especially since the latter two co-star Orson Welles.

Available for pre-order at DVD Empire with May 1 release date. They also delayed Blood and Sand and will release it as part of the boxset.

Before "Lino" starts going crazy with all covers, here's the first one.

Warner, eat your heart out. These are some cool covers:

[HerrSchreck]

More Fox treatment of vintage technicolor that looks like a b&w film with Ted Turneresque digital colorization. Hideous. What the hell is wrong with these folks-- they get b&w (i e the Fox noirs) so right, and even some color discs, but they have been getting vintage technicolor like Alice Faye o so bloody wrong??

Look at this monochromish technicolor rot:


BLOOD AND SAND^

Utterly dead, lifeless technicolor. No "pop" to anything, all the colors pale and washed out.
THE BACK ROSE (quote "the best looking transfer of the set")^

Great news about the 2nd vol- I've only seen This above all, and I want to see and own all. Tyrone Power is my greatest male Hollywood idol since I was a teenager.

DVDBeaver reports that the Luck of the Irish has been tinted green to replicate the original theatrical experience-- I've never heard of a color-tinted sound picture, was this as rare as it sounds or were there other sound films that took advantage of this? I don't mean like Spellbound where there's color elements added to the black and white footage, I mean replicating the color tinting of silent cinema for extended passages.

[planetjake]

I believe Wee Willie Winkie was released in a tinted version...

Reflections in a Golden Eye also springs to mind...

[Danny Burk]

It wasn't done frequently. A few early sound films had full silent-style tinting, e.g. THIS IS THE NIGHT, ONE HOUR WITH YOU and ZOO IN BUDAPEST. I didn't know about WEE WILLIE WINKIE until I watched the copy in the big Ford box; I had expected it to be sepia all the way through.

Some prints of Whale's Frankenstein were tinted green on its initial release.
