Top Notch Noir

This movie is perhaps one of the finest I have seen in a while. Thank you Fox for putting out these classic noir movies on DVD. Tyrone Power is a master thespian as well as the rest of the cast. This movie is timeless. I checked out the DVD at my library and now I am going to have to purchase it so I can enlighten my friends and family to cinematic classic.

I just heard of it for the first time as the book was noted in the NY Review of Books monthly newsletter along with Kenneth Fearing's The Big Clock (a great book which I really enjoyed). And I see there is a movie too!
Sweet. Dig a great Noir!

Great film, not what I expected at all. I'm glad that "Nightmare Alley" has achieved a sort of cult status.

One of the best Film-Noirs I've seen, borderline 10/10.
