Nightmare Alley Nightmare Alley is a 20th Century Fox film noir released in 1947. The movie rights for the 1946 novel of the same name, written by William Lindsay Gresham, were bought by actor Tyrone Power who planned on starring in the film. Power was attempting to expand his limited range playing romantic swashbuckler types in movies by playing the unsavory lead, "The Great Stanton". To make the film look believable, the films producers built a full working carnival on 10 acres (40,000 m²) of the 20th Century Fox back lot. They also hired over 100 sideshow attractions and carnival men in an attempt to make the film look authentic.
