Although it is spectacularly photographed, there's no question about the main draw of Prince of Foxes: Orson Welles easily pilfers every scene he's in. Tyrone Power is the nominal star, but Welles gets to play the larger-than-life Cesare Borgia, looking to expand his power by gobbling up Italian land in every direction. Power, as his faithful and ambitious lieutenant, is dispatched to soften up a city-state... but it's Power who ends up softening. The production is beautifully mounted by director Henry King, with location shooting that rivals the King-Power collaboration Captain from Castile, although color would have made the Borgia world a more vivid playpen.
Welles was concurrently making his version of Othello, and used jobs like Prince of Foxes to pay for his own movie. There's no denying that things slow badly whenever Welles isn't on screen, although Everett Sloane (a longtime Welles company actor) brings vinegar to his part as a hired assassin. Ty Power, who already looks older than his 35 years, is clearly beginning to wear down as a dashing adventure hero--but both he and Welles would return a year later in The Black Rose, a bouncier epic entirely. --Robert Horton

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Tyrone Power - one of the best
The swashbucking movies were truly the best, good clean entertainment and Tyrone I think really made good quality films.
Rating:  - Great movie!
A wonderful classic film based on a great novel. I only wish it was in color.
Rating: - Prince of Foxes
Good cloak and dagger movie with some action. Was disappointed, thought it was going to be in color but, turned out to be in black and white!
Rating: - Return of a great classic
I am happy to see the DVD release of Prince of Foxes. This movie is a gem I first encountered years ago on the midday movie channel and I've loved it ever since. Tyrone Power plays an impostor posing as a nobleman in the service of Cesare Borgia. Sent to subvert a castle town that stands in the way of Borgia's ambition to rule central Italy, Power falls in love with the young duchess who rules the place and determines to oppose his old boss and defend the town. The town falls, Power is revealed to ... Read More
Rating: - Power never boring!
Wanda Hendrix the the light weight starlet here. She was married to someone (can't remember now) semi famous.(Audie Murphy?) She ruins the picture for me and cannot play the love interest to the handsome, dashing Tyrone Power. Welles is always good and played with Tyrone in the Black Rose.
Enjoyable movies of another place and time. Not full of 4 letter words and explicit bedroom scenes. Romantic and entertaining.
