Sigh. Hollywood really had me fooled with this one. There I was, naive old me, expecting a nice healthy slice of film noir only to be served a heaping pile of religious dogma. To be fair, the acting wasn't that bad. I did appreciate the inside look of the traveling carnival as also displayed in "Freaks" and several other noir films. What I wasn't expecting was the heavy handed call to prayer that was "Nightmare Alley." This piece of fluff could probably have been written by the Pope or the Church of Jesus Christ the Latter Day Saints the Mormons, or any Amish preacher. Sigh. After the conclusion of this review, I'll scour the internet for a "forgetfulness" pill 💊. I hope they exist.
