For a film from the team of Tyrone Power and Edmund Goulding: Nightmare Alley (1947) is unusual in that film noir, at this time, was essentially thought of as 'B' movie material. Yet this one gets top billing and a big budget. It is a dark tale of sociopathic obsession in the tacky world of sideshows and carnivals: a new-comer becomes fixated on a mind-reading act and determines to steal it and take it up-market.
