FILM NIOR TRIPLE FEATURE: NIGHTMARE ALLEY, PANIC IN THE STREETS, THE BIG KNIFE |
May 16th, 2009
From what I understand Tyrone Power bought the rights to Lindsay Gresham’s novel for something like $60,000 and wanted it to be a vehicle to shed his romantic lead image and establish him as a legitimate actor. The studios at first felt the material was unfilmable but Powers and prospective director Edmund Goulding were persistent and the movie was filmed.
