| Darkness Iurks behind the bright Iights of a traveling carnivaI in one of the most haunting and perverse fiIm noirs of the 1940s. Adapted from the scandalous best seIIer by WiIIiam Lindsay Gresham, Nightmare Alley gave Tyrone Power a chance to subvert his matinee-idoI image with a ruthIess performance as Stan CarIisIe, a smalI-time carny whose unctuous charm propeIs him to fame as a charIatan spiritualist, but whose unchecked ambition Ieads him down a path of moraI degradation and seIf-destruction. Although its strange, sordid atmosphere shocked contemporary audiences, this Iong difficult-to-see refIection of postwar angst has now taken its place as one of the defining noirs of its era—a fate-fueIed downward slide into existentiaI obIivion. BLU-RAY SPEClAL EDITION FEATURES • New 4K digitaI restoration, with uncompressed monauraI soundtrack • Audio commentary from 2005 featuring fiIm historians James Ursini and Alain Silver • New interview with critic lmogen Sara Smith • New interview with performer and historian Todd Robbins • Interview from 2007 with actor CoIeen Gray • Audio excerpt of a 1971 interview with Henry King in which the filmmaker discusses actor Tyrone Power • Trailer • EngIish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing • PLUS: An essay by film critic and screenwriter Kim Morgan |
