Anyway, we now have a superb DVD release and can all enjoy this wonderful film. I guess that a new print has been struck for arthouse showings, but we really need a lavish DVD presentation, with all the extras and documentation they can find! See this film. 42 out of 51 found this helpful.

Synopsis He was all things to all men … but only one thing to all women! And nobody in the cast was soft - they were all hard knocks characters, almost down for the count, but still fighting.
It is a rare film and even rarer book, but really worth the time. The cast is virtually flawless, and the story remains timely. After about 15 minutes, nobody in front of that set moved until it was all over, except maybe to look sideways to see if anyone else could believe their eyes. Surrender to it.
Was this review helpful? This is the Carnivals that once traveled from town to town where for a couple of hours the tedious routine of hard working people of the small towns and farms across the land could be shattered as a result of having their minds stretched by bizarre sideshows and their pockets emptied with fixed games of chance favoring the establishment. 6 out of 7 found this helpful.
Tyrone Power turns in the performance of his career and it is a tragedy for him and for cinema that the studio should have so made certain that he did not get the re-launch he so wanted with this. Directed by Edmund Goulding. there is a solid performance from Joan Blondell as the slightly, going to seed, 'mind act' performer and tarot enthusiast, Coleen Gray as the innocent would be femme fatale and a brilliant turn by Helen walker as the real thing with bells on. I am sold when she first appears in her circus uniform, the glittery skivvies revealing that she is not skinny, but given to thick curves, especially in her smolderingly pliable and smooth hips.

This is a movie about being careful what you wish for.
: The Commentary track is well worth a listen.
Was this review helpful? Hit men kill an unresisting victim, and investigator Reardon uncovers his past involvement with beautiful, deadly Kitty Collins. However, that is one of Nightmare Alley's many charms, and it certainly contains enough elements of film noir to fall into that category, including perhaps one of the coldest femme fatales in noir history. Those words haunted me for over 20 years, until I was able to track down another showing of the film on TV (STILL not on VCR or DVD for heaven's sake!). A sophisticated Noir, not in a whodunit sense but in a psychological sense, follows a small-time carny (Tyrone Power) who learns the tricks of "mentalism" from a cheerful co-worker (Joan Blondell), but gets shotgun-married to a younger woman (Coleen Gray). 56 out of 63 found this helpful.

Nightmare Alley was once an obscure film, but with recent DVD releases on both sides of the Atlantic; I suspect it will now become slightly less obscure.
One of the most obscure films produced by classic Hollywood. Wow, it is such a great performance, sexy, lovable but pure steel beneath the skin, a performance all the more impressive seeing as she was still recovering from a car crash and had limited movement.
Was this review helpful? Tyrone Power always wanted to be considered an actor first, studly leading man second. In this nightmare populated by fun-fairs, alcoholism and eccentric millionaires obsessed with the deceased, the film version makes use of the essential from the source novel and provides the best invention: an unscrupulous psychiatrist who records her patients on tape and then blackmails them, a device that Brian de Palma himself would have be proud of. In these days of "Crossing Over", and psychic 1-900 hotlines, everybody should see this expose of the psychic business, possibly more important now, than then.
Tryone Power gave one of his finest performances in "Nightmare Alley."
I was joined by friends who always got together on Saturday nights to watch the musicals, comedies, or classic performances offered that week. 20 out of 23 found this helpful.
