   Is Nightmare Alley a film noir?

   • “Nightmare Alley,” made under the restrictions of the Production Code, would never have been able to show anything that sordid. But it is a dark and cynical film, and it makes a good test case for film noir, a category that resists clear definition. As has often been written, noir is not quite a genre, a mood or a style.

   Is Nightmare Alley a good story?

   • 'Nightmare Alley' is the type of cynical rise and fall story that you would expect to star Kirk Douglas, but instead it contains a convincing lead performance from Tyrone Power as a fame and fortune seeking charlatan. The story of The Great Stanton is a classic noir perversion of the American dream.

   Is Nightmare Alley a thriller?

   • “Nightmare Alley” isn’t a mystery or even much of a thriller. But it induces a soul-sickening feeling that courses through your system like the wood alcohol that poisons one of the characters. The sense of fatalism, a noir staple, is pervasive. The original film also isn’t subtle in its depiction of class as destiny.

   Dec 17, 2021 · That we can infer exactly where Stan's road leads isn’t just because of Edmund Goulding’s 1947 film adaptation or William Lindsay Gresham’s original novel. Even those unfamiliar with one or both materials can detect the cyclical parable del Toro establishes through his understanding and repurposing of noir tropes, both visual and thematic.
