ABOUT THE FILM: NIGHTMARE ALLEY, Dir. Edmund Goulding, 110 Min, Disney, USA Originally released October 9, 1947 One of the bleakest and most audacious pictures ever to emerge from Hollywood. Tyrone Power has the best role of his career as carny roustabout Stanton Carlisle, who connives his way into the big-time as a “mentalist,” preying on the hopes and fears of gullible rubes. But when he betrays his honest wife and partner (Coleen Gray) by throwing in with a shady psychoanalyst (Helen Walker)—there’s hell to pay. Based on the legendary cult novel by William Lindsey Gresham, the tale’s themes about the exploitation of human nature make the film seem more prescient than ever.
