Episode 029: Nightmare Alley (1947)

Each episode Batzina Belfry travels six feet under to pry open a coffin of one of her favorite Hollywood corpses to perform a post watch examination of one their forgotten films. This marks the second episode in the series of cunning, crafty, conniving charlatans, in which Batzina examines films that spotlight the swindling ways of some of her favorite Hollywood Con Artists. In this episode she uncovers the corpse of Tyrone Power to dissect the 1947 Edmund Goulding, noir picture, Nightmare Alley. Batzina is also joined by my fellow classic corner, Dr. Ashley Jane Carruthers to autopsy character actor, Helen Walker.
