For his birthday
1. Witness for the Prosecution - look, anyone could've played that role if sufficiently handsome but he's very good in a terrific film.
2. Nightmare Alley - splendid noir and Power is excellent. Deserved cult classic.
3. The Razor's Edge - Power very good in an incredibly hard role to play. All the critics are going to roll over for Clifton Webb, Anne Baxter and Gene Tierney but Power centers it.
4. The Eddy Duchin Story. Classy material.
5. The Captain from Castille. Power was stuck in a lot of these Fox spectaculars. This is one of the best of those.
6. Mark of Zorro. Power has a decent part - a man with a dual identity - and has a lot of fun.
7. Thin Ice. Fun, silly Sonja Henie stuff.
8. The Rains Came. Yes, in brown face. A very good performance though.
9. The Black Swan. He wears growth, scowls and abducts Maureen O'Hara but he's still a very nice pirate.
10. Jesse James. Same as The Black Swan.
