Nightmare Alley 1947 Trailer

Available on DVD from www.odeonent.co.uk
Tyrone Power -- cast against type at his own insistence -- gives the performance of his life as handsome scumbag / carnival barker / conman Stanton Carlisle. He seduces fellow sideshow artiste Mademoiselle Zeena (Joan Blondell) to learn the secret of the once-lucrative mind-reading act she performed with her alcoholic husband (Ian Keith), Carlisle, a "born mentalist", secures the secret method and sets off with his new carnie wife, Molly (Coleen Grey) to milk the big time as a spiritualist in Chicago. As Carlisle's success grows, it's only a matter of time before his greed -- and twisted involvement with femme fatale psychoanalyst Lilith Ritter (Helen Walker) -- bring his world crashing down around him.
Based on William Lindsay Gresham's book of he same name, scripted by the formidable Jules Furthman (The Big Sleep, Rio Bravo) and reflecting the preoccupations of its drug and alcohol-abusing, orgy-frequenting director Edmund Goulding, Nightmare Alley uncovers both the dirt and romance of carnival life, and controversially -- for those in the business -- the tricks an scams of conmen, mediums, and hustlers. After this picaresque and cathartic film, you will never again misuse the word "geek"!

Do not bother with remakes This one is the original real deal On the edge of your seat

The script was garbage

[@thewolfmike2226]

I just read the book, and it was fantastic. The film's can't capture what's in the novel

I'll be watching this before Guillermo Del Toro's version.

Hate to say it you will be disappointed! Nobody can touch Tyrone Power!

I just saw this movie about a month ago on TCM and I thought it was excellent. For me, it was Helen Walker, who played the psychiatrist, who stole the movie. You should read her bio on IMBd. Apparently, she was on the verge of major stardom until tragedy struck. Her story is so sad.

[@michaelcollins237]

No one stole the movie pal Not even Tyrone Power

[@toussantlbisso]

She was Boss !

[@oop4841]

Her choices literally resulted in permanent injury to two and death to another. Tf.

The "Dark Corners" channel recently reviewed this film. They always have valuable insight into films and the making of.

There are several 20th Century-Fox trailers like this, missing the voice over narration and the superimposed word descriptions.

WOW ! From your 1st sentence description, it appears that Tyrone Power is actually playing the part of Bill Clinton.

[@dawn8542]

Wtf? You're off your meds.

[@bluechocolate4315]

Well, described as a "scumbag / carnival barker / conman ," that would be more of a reality show host. Did we have ever a president from a reality show? :)

You certain he's not playing Borat Obama?
