Early career

After being estranged from him for several years due to his parents' divorce, Power joined him in 1931. As preparing to perform in The Miracle Man, his father died in his arms in December 1931. Tyrone Power Jr., as he was then known, has decided to continue training as an actor. He attempted to find work as an actor, and although many people knew his father well, they gave praise for his father but not so much for his son. In 1932, Tom Brown of Culver, a film starring actor Tom Brown, appeared in a little bit. Power's participation in the film did not lead to any other doors, and besides being unable to perform more than a job as an extra in Flirt Walk, he found himself frozen out of the theater but making a few appearances in a community theater. He was dissatisfied with Arthur Caesar's recommendation that he go to New York to gain experience as a stage actor. Flowers of the Forest, Saint Joan, and Romeo and Juliet are among the Broadway plays in which he was cast.

In 1936, Hollywood lost control. Henry King was impressed with his appearance and demeanor, and he ordered that Power be tested for the lead role in Lloyd's of London, a role that is widely associated with Don Ameche. Despite his own reservations, Darryl F. Zanuck decided to give Power the job, until King and Fox film editor Barbara McLean convinced him that Power had a larger screen presence than Ameche. Power was billed fourth in the film, but he had by far the most screen time of any other cast member. He walked into the premiere of the film as an unknown and walked out as a celebrity, which continued the rest of his career.

Since being hit from 1936 to 1943, his career was interrupted by military service, his career was shattered. In these years he appeared in romantic comedies like Thin Ice and Day-Time Wife, as well as in films such as Suez, Blood and Sand, and Rose of Washington Square; in the westerns Jesse James (1939) and Brigham Young (1959) in the R.A.F. This Is Above All; and the swashbucklers The Mark of Zorro and The Black Swan, which was a swashbuckler. Jesse James was a huge success at the box office, but the company did receive some flak over the popular outlaw. The film was shot in and around Pineville, Missouri, and was Power's first location shoot and his first Technicolor film. (Before his time, he had shot a total of 16 films in color, including the one he was filming when he died). Marie Antoinette (1938), a loaned out once, was loaned out to MGM. Darryl F. Zanuck was furious that MGM used Fox's biggest star in what was, despite billing, a supporting role, and Parris in Kings Row; though Power's services were requested for numerous films directed by Harry Cohn; and the role of Monroe Stahr in a planned revival of The Last Tycoon by Norma Shearer of The Last Tycoon.

Power was dubbed the second biggest box-office draw in 1939, second only to Mickey Rooney. His box office figures are some of the highest of all time.

When Power's film The Mark of Zorro was released in 1940, it took a dramatic turn. By night, Power played Don Diego Vega/Zorro, a fop by day, a bandit hero by night. Douglas Fairbanks had played the role in the 1920 film of the same name. The film was a success, and 20th Century Fox regularly starred Power in other swashbucklers in the years that followed. In real life, Power was a renowned swordsman, and The Mark of Zorro dueling scene is highly regarded. Basil Rathbone, the great Hollywood swordsman who appeared in The Mark of Zorro, said, "Power was the most mobile man with a sword I've ever seen before a camera." Errol Flynn may have been tied to a cocked hat by Tyrone.

In 1943, military service brought an end to civilian life, which ended power's careers. In late 1942, he joined the United States Marine Corps for training, but was sent back, by twentieth Century-Fox's request, to finish one more film, Crash Dive, a patriotic war film released in 1943. Tyrone Power, U.C.R., was credited in the film, and the film was released as a recruiting film.

Post-war career

Power was not seen on screen again after his introduction to the Marines in 1946, when he co-starred Gene Tierney, John Payne, and Anne Baxter in The Razor's Edge, an adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's novel of the same name.

The film noir Nightmare Alley (1947), which was next in line for release, was a film that Power had to fight hard to make. Darryl F. Zanuck was hesitant to attend the film because his charming appearance and charming demeanor had been sellingable assets for the studio for many years. Zanuck was concerned that the unknown role in a dark movie could damage Power's reputation. Zanuck eventually agreed, giving Power A-list production values for what should be a B film. Edmund Goulding produced the film, and although it was a failure at the box-office, it was one of Power's favorite films for which he received some of his best critiques ever. However, Zanuck continued to disapprove his "darling boy" being seen in such a film with a downward spiral. So, after only a few weeks of insisting that it was a flop, he did not publicize it and banned it from release. After years of court troubles, the film was released on DVD in 2005.

Captain from Castile (also 1947), directed by Henry King, who produced Power in eleven films, was released quickly by Zanuck. After making a few light romantic comedies, he was reuniting him with two actresses under 20th Century Fox's deal with Gene Tierney, That Wonderful Urge, and The Luck of the Irish (both 1948) with Anne Baxter. Power once more emerged in two swashbucklers, Prince of Foxes (1949) and The Black Rose (1950).

Power was increasingly dissatisfied with his costume roles, and he had a difficult time choosing between being a star and becoming a good actor. He was forced to take on jobs because he was unappealing, such as American Guerrilla in the Philippines (1950) and Pony Soldier (1952). In 1950, he came to England to appear in Mister Roberts' title role on the London Coliseum stage, bringing in sellout crowds for twenty-three weeks.

After being cast in one costume film after another, Power refused to appear in Lydia Bailey; Power was suspended until he went to Dale Robertson. Power appeared in Diplomatic Courier (1952), a cold war spy drama directed by Henry Hathaway that received only positive feedback. It was included in a number of other American spy films with similar content.

Power's films had been extremely profitable in the past, and Fox gave him the lead role in The Robe (1953), an enticement to resurrect his deal. He turned it down (Richard Burton was cast instead) and spent ten weeks on John Brown's Body, a three-person dramatic reading of Stephen Vincent Benét's narrative poem, adapted and directed by Charles Laughton, starring Power, Judith Anderson and Raymond Massey. The tour came to an end in a string of 65 shows at the New Century Theatre on Broadway between February and April 1953. In October 1953, the show's second national tour began, this time for four months, with Raymond Massey and Anne Baxter. Power filmed King of The Khyber Rifles, a depiction of India in 1857, with Terry Moore and Michael Rennie.

Power granted permission to pursue his own roles outside of the studio on the understanding that he would fulfill his fourteen-film commitment to them in between his other projects. He founded The Mississippi Gambler (1953) for Universal-International, negotiating a deal that entitles him to a share of the proceeds. He made more money from the movie than he did not. Katharine Cornell, a British dramatist Christopher Fry's verse drama set in Austria in 1953, starred Power as her love interest in the performance The Dark is Light Enough, a British dramatist Christopher Fry's verse drama set in Austria in 1848. Power toured the United States and Canada from November 1954 to April 1955, concluding with 12 weeks at the ANTA Theater in New York and two weeks at the Colonial Theater in Boston. The critics applauded Julian Claman's "A Quiet Place," which was staged at the National Theater in Washington, at the end of 1955, with the audience warmly welcomed.

Tyrone Power's last film made under his deal with 20th Century-Fox was Untamed (1955). The Long Gray Line, a John Ford film for Columbia Pictures, was released in the same year. In 1956, Columbia introduced The Eddy Duchin Story, another great success for the actor, as he returned to England to play Brue Dick Dudgeon in a revival of Shaw's The Devil's Disciple for one week at the Opera House in Manchester and nineteen weeks at the Winter Garden in London.

Darryl F. Zanuck, a child of Hemingway, convinced him to appear in The Sun Also Rises (1957), a Hemingway book based on the Hemingway novel starring Ava Gardner and Errol Flynn. This was his last film with Fox. Seven Waves Away (USA: Abandon Ship), shot in Great Britain and John Ford's Rising of the Moon (narrator only), which was shot in Ireland, were released in the same year. Copa Productions.

In Agatha Christie's Witness for the Prosecution (1957), directed by Billy Wilder, he was cast against type as the accused murderer Leonard Vole. The film was a critical success in the box-office market. Robert Fulford, a writer for the National Post in 2002, reflected on Power's "superb results" as "the seedy, stop-at-nothing exploiter of women." Power returned to the stage in March 1958 to lead Arnold Moss' adaptation of Shaw's 1921 play, "Back to Methuselah."
