So, last night, for my very first time, I watched Nightmare Alley. The original, not the new Guillermo del Toro version.
WOW. It's a trip, for sure. I went in knowing nothing about the story, only the setting, and my jaw was on the floor half the time at the content they managed to get in there or allude to in 1947. There's apparently even more that they didn't. Amazing, really. I will revisit it soon to listen to the commentary track. And I'll definitely go to the new one at some point to see del Toro's take on it.
