Episode 595: NIghtmare Alley (1947)

We continue #Noirvember 2022 with a look at Edmund Goulding’s Nightmare Alley (1947). Based on the novel by William Lindsay Gresham, the film stars Tyrone Power as Stanton Carlisle, a smooth operator at the carnival. He works his way through a trio of women and a string of jobs always looking for that next big score but always haunted by the howl of the geek.

Samm Deighan and Andrew Nette join Mike to discuss the original and 2021 Guillermo del Toro adaptation.
