British label Signal One Entertainment has informed us that it will release on Blu-ray director Edmund Goulding's film
Nightmare Alley (1947), starring Tyrone Power, Joan Blondell, Coleen Gray, Helen Walker, and Taylor Holmes. The release will be available for purchase on October 29.
Synopsis: Tyrone Power, cast against type -- at his own insistence -- gives the performance of his lifetime as handsome scumbag / carnival barker / con-man Stanton Carlisle. He seduces fellow sideshow performer Mademoiselle Zeena (Joan Blondell) to learn the secret of her once lucrative mind-reading act with her alcoholic husband (Ian Keith). Carlisle, a "born mentalist", secures the secret method and sets off with his new carnie wife, Molly (Coleen Grey) to milk the bigtime as a spiritualist in Chicago. As Carlisle's success grows, it's only a matter of time before his greed — and twisted involvement with femme fatale psychoanalyst Lilith Ritter (Helen Walker) — bring Stanton's world crashing down around him.
