Nightmare Alley (1947) (Blu-ray + DVD)

Tyrone Power - cast against type at his own insistence - gives the performance of his life as handsome scumbag and conman Stanton Carlisle. He seduces fellow sideshow artiste Mademoiselle Zeena (Joan Blondell) to learn the secret of the once-lucrative mind-reading act she performed 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 big time 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 his world crashing down around him.
