Tyrone Power sheds his matinee idol image to play a ruthless small-time carny who schemes his way to becoming a successful mentalist whose ambition eventually leads to his own self-destruction. NIGHTMARE ALLEY stuns with its haunting story, pulpy cinematography, and fantastic performances from Power, Joan Blondell. A true hidden gem of the film noir genre.
