Review of Nightmare Alley (1947) by Jluis_001 — 12 Jan 2022
The story of Nightmare Alley is more cynical and bitter than emotional.
A story about attaining what its protagonist believes to be success and wealth only to find himself completely stripped of it.
Perhaps Tyrone Power's performance isn't the most effective, but in a way even though everything revolves around his character, his downfall is the most important point of this story, and I think the actor sells it well enough to sustain the film.
It's indeed a raw but fascinating story to watch, but I prefer Del Toro's version.
