    Ty scores himself a Hot Toasty Rag nomination

    If you only think of Tyrone Power as a swashbuckling hero, you need to rent This Above All. I'd seen all of the wrong movies of his first, like Untamed, Alexander's Ragtime Band, and In Old Chicago, so I thought he was merely a nice-looking actor who wasn't very talented and always played jerks. If you're on the same page that I was, check out The Sun Also Rises, The Long Gray Line, and This Above All. Those three movies will make a Ty fan out of you.

    Joan Fontaine plays a wealthy English woman who, disgusted with her family's aloof attitude about the war-in an impassioned monologue, she declares Gladys Cooper to be worse than the Nazis-joins the WAAFs. She's very excited to do her part for the war effort, and this part of the plot is riveting enough, but when she goes on a blind date and spends the evening with a moody, irritable man hidden in the shadows, the plot heats up. Her date is Tyrone Power, and once she sees his beautiful face and his perfectly adorable nose, she's anxious to see him again. As they date, it's clear he's hiding something. If you look up the movie online, you'll find out what his secret is, but I won't spoil it for you in case you want the movie to unfold by itself.

    Handsomeness and romance aside, because you can see those in other Tyrone Power movies, Ty gives an excellent layered performance. There's so much turmoil written on his face, long before you find out what his secret is, and his interactions with his well-intentioned friend Thomas Mitchell and a neutral priest Alexander Knox show a simmering temper he never usually shows in his movies. Tyrone Power was never nominated for an Academy Award, and Hot Toasty Rag was proud to give him a nomination for his performance in this emotional drama. In the supporting cast, you can catch glimpses of Henry Stephenson, Sara Allgood, Miles Mander, and Nigel Bruce.

    A good wartime romance and a good role for Fontaine

    With the entry of England into WW2, upper class Prudence Cathaway (Joan Fontaine) joins the women's auxiliary force, much to the annoyance of her snobbish relatives. Prudence later meets working-class Clive Briggs (Tyrone Power) on a blind date, and the two fall in love, although Clive reveals little about his past, and Prudence can sense something heavy on his mind. Eventually she learns that not only was Clive recognized for bravery during the Dunkirk evacuation, but that he has subsequently gone AWOL. Will Clive change his mind and return to service, or is he destined to be a fugitive?

    I don't often warm to Fontaine, but she's good here, sweetly human and beautiful. Power gets to stretch a bit with a darker character, and he's up to the challenge. The supporting players don't have a lot to do, but they're all memorable professionals, and help keep the movie interesting. Two scenes that struck me as especially noteworthy: the initial date between Fontaine and Power is held during a blackout, with very little light, and only the occasional match strike providing fleeting illumination of faces. The other scene is later in the film, as a frantic Power runs through the wrecked streets of a London neighborhood during an air raid. Bombs are falling, fires are burning, a plane even crashes into a nearby apartment house, all with panicked citizens and valiant firemen running to and fro. A very well executed sequence. The movie received Oscar nominations for Best B&W Cinematography, Best Sound, and Best Editing, and it won for Best B&W Art Direction.

    This is a beautiful film

    Tyrone Power once again proves what a brilliant actor he was in this film! Joan Fontaine is also wonderful as an upper-class English woman who joins the WAFs during WWII and meets and falls in love with a charming, but troubled, stranger (Power) with a mysterious past. This movie is not only well acted and touching, but also provides an interesting historical window into WWII England. A definite must see for Tyrone Power fans and anyone interested in WWII. Unfortunately, this movie is not available on video. However, for anyone who wishes to see it, I managed to catch it on the Fox Movie Channel, where it is sometimes shown.

    Engaging war drama of love and conscientious objection

    Tyrone Power is completely deprived of all his Hollywood attributes here, he is shabby and unshaved like a bum, his good looks are purposely disposed of and as much altered as possible to the contrary, his character is doubtful, while Joan Fontaine outshines him all the way and constantly more and more, which makes it impossible not to burst out into tears when she does.

    It's a chapter out of the most critical point of the war after Dunkirk at the beginning of the long nightmare blitz of London, and all the bombing scenes couldn't have been made more real and convincing. Tyrone is a veteran from Dunkirk, almost decorated, bitterly disillusioned about the war and its glory and finds no meaning in any aspect of the struggle, while Joan in bursts of impressing honesty gives him second thoughts. But there is much more to it than their epitomized romance.

    Perhaps the most important ingredient is the other characters. Thomas Mitchell actually saves the show, Alexander Knox is the only one who immediately and thoroughly understands Tyrone's predicament of conscience, Gladys Cooper is gloriously superior as always, Nigel Bruce adds some vital Dickensian comedy, Philip Merivale as the doctor is another vital contribution, and there are others, some not even mentioned. On the whole, it's a perfect masterpiece of film pinpointing the very eye of the storm of the second world war.

    Class Carries Responsibility

    Although the English born, Laurence Olivier, Richard Greene, or Robert Donat would have done the part of Clive Briggs great justice, there was nothing wrong with the performance Tyrone Power gave in This Above All. Power does not even attempt an English accent, yet his performance is every bit as good as Robert Taylor's in Waterloo Bridge.

    Eric Knight's novel was a big seller and the film is a serious examination as to why this is the people's war. In a curious way Power's views which do undergo a radical transformation are a mirror image of what Marlon Brando said in The Young Lions about class distinctions.

    And in the same year of This Above All, Teresa Wright in Mrs. Miniver upheld the tradition of the upper classes. One of my favorite scenes from that film is Wright telling Richard Ney about the things she's involved in to make her corner of the world better. Joan Fontaine feels the same way, before she meets the cynical Power she tells her family that she feels she has to get in and do her bit. She joins the Women's Auxiliary Army Force as an enlistee, not even an officer. She feels as did Wright that class also carries responsibility.

    Power and Fontaine are a perfectly matched pair, she just coming off her Oscar and him at the height of his box office draw. Hollywood's English colony fills out the rest of the cast with the exception of Thomas Mitchell who is inevitably Irish.

    This Above All won an Oscar for Best Art Direction and it was nominated in several other categories. The film holds up remarkably well because it is both patriotic, but a very atypical and cynical film for its time, not your normal flag-waver.

      Iris Cathaway: It's none of my business, but if you want my opinion, Prudence is not behaving in a manner befitting her position. Yesterday afternoon, she took Bert Higgins, the gardener, for a drive in her car, instead of attending Lord Everton's charity party.

      Dr. Roger Cathaway: Bert Higgins is convalescing. I took out his appendix last month.

      Iris Cathaway: That doesn't confer special privileges.

      Dr. Roger Cathaway: I remember taking out Lord Everton's appendix a year ago. Do you know it was exactly like Bert's?

      Iris Cathaway: That's a ridiculous argument. We don't shake hands with each other's appendixes? Or is it appendices?
