Captain from Castile (1947) + Extras

Spain, 1518: young caballero Pedro De Vargas offends his sadistic neighbor De Silva, who just happens to be an officer of the Inquisition. Forced to flee, Pedro, friend Juan Garcia, and adoring servant girl Catana join Cortez' first expedition to Mexico. Arriving in the rich new land, Cortez decides to switch from exploration to conquest… with only 500 men. Embroiled in continuous adventures and a romantic interlude, Pedro almost forgets he has a deadly enemy…



Audio Commentary features Rudy Behlmer, Jon Burlingame and Nick Redman.

Extras:
– Tyrone Power: The Last Idol (45:01) is culled from the old Biography series, and offers that franchise's typically excellent if often kind of generalist overview of the actor's life and work.
– Tyrone Power and His Leading Ladies (12:25) is a much more "personal" featurette, with nice (if too brief) interviews with four of Ty's leading ladies, Patricia Neal, Jayne Meadows, Terry Moore and Coleen Gray. As your resident Frances Farmer obsessive, I'll point out that there are also a couple of brief glimpses of Frances with Ty in scenes from Son of Fury: The Story of Benjamin Blake, the last film she finished before her years of institutionalization.
