In the soul of every man, there is a player, no matter how big or small, even if it ends with a decaying and unsatisfactory ending, he is still willing. A colorful carnival that captivates the inhabited nightmare of alcoholics and eccentric millionaires. The road they have to walk, as described in the opening sentence of the film, "This road is for monsters to pass through here."
"Nightmare Alley" is often described as Hollywood's most acerbic noir (films about the dark side of society). And thanks to a decades-long dispute with Fox, the film's producer, George Jessel, is nearing mythical heights. But it also prevented the film from being released, or even appearing on home video shows. And with the conflict finally resolved, the darkest and most unconventional noir classic of all time is finally presented to us in stunning DVD form. Due to repeated insistence, Tyrone Bower finally got this role that is completely different from his previous screen image-a handsome despicable villain, a wizard who is good at reading minds, and a professional liar.
