The October 4 issue of The Nation has a review by Charles Taylor of a new edition of William Lindsay Gresham's novel Nightmare Alley. Taylor also discusses the movie and calls Tyrone Power's performance "superb."

Faaaabulous article, Peachtree--what a find! In depth and some great insight into TP's performance, IMHO.
Had no idea the author committed suicide--very sad.
(Just saw this on Fox recently and it's really a fine tuned performance that doesn't age...still the killer scenes are towards the end as TP unleashes all the acting skills he's got. Great stuff.)
