Tyrone Power stars as Benjamin Blake in this inspired adaptation of Edison Marshall's story of high romance and dangerous escapades in 18th-century Britain and the South Seas of the Pacific. As a boy--played by the young Roddy McDowall--Benjamin is disinherited from his dukedom by his nefarious uncle, Sir Arthur Blake (George Sanders), who mistreats his nephew constantly. When Sir Arthur finds Benjamin in the arms of his attractive daughter, Isabel (Frances Farmer), Blake beats Benjamin cruelly, forcing him to run off on a cargo ship headed to India. Once aboard, he is befriended by Caleb Green (John Carradine), and the two comrades jump ship and swim to an elysian Polynesian island, where the young nobleman's luck begins to change. He dives for pearls and gems and finds love at the hands of a beautiful islander (Gene Tierney) while anxiously awaiting a chance to return to England for revenge.

Tyrone Power was on a hot streak at Fox from the late 1930s through the start of WWII, and 1942's Son of Fury catches him in full adventure-hero mode. The story is a typical costume potboiler with one atypical South Seas interlude. Power plays Benjamin Blake, illegitimate son of an aristocrat, raised by his knave of an uncle (George Sanders--commence hissing) as a lowly, humiliated servant. Ben romances a high-class lady (Frances Farmer) and then flees to the South Pacific, where a revenge plan is formed and a fortune in pearls awaits. Seadog John Carradine leads Ben to a remote atoll, and Gene Tierney is a sultry island maiden (do you love this movie yet?) who understands that at some point Blake must return to England to settle his affairs. Director John Cromwell was deft at putting this kind of thing over (he'd made the splendid Prisoner of Zenda five years earlier) and the violence, especially coming from Sanders' blackguard, is unusually tough. The tasty supporting cast includes Elsa Lanchester, Dudley Digges, and young Roddy McDowall, who plays Ben as a boy. Alfred Newman has fun with the score, which includes a well-nigh irresistible Polynesian-flavored love theme. Power is his usual straightforward self, still at his physical prime; he and Tierney are about as pretty a couple as you could imagine stranded on a lost island--the island of escapism. --Robert Horton
