  • Nightmare Alley: Film Noir and the American Dream



    Mark Osteen, 'Nightmare Alley: Film Noir and the American Dream'

    2013 | ISBN: 1421407809, 1421413884 | 336 pages | EPUB, MOBI | 3,8 MB


    Desperate young lovers on the lam ( They Live by Night), a cynical con man making a fortune as a mentalist ( Nightmare Alley), a penniless pregnant girl mistaken for a wealthy heiress ( No Man of Her Own), a wounded veteran who has forgotten his own name ( Somewhere in the Night)-this gallery of film noir characters challenges the stereotypes of the wise-cracking detective and the alluring femme fatale. Despite their differences, they all have something in common: a belief in self-reinvention. Nightmare Alley is a thorough examination of how film noir disputes this notion at the heart of the American Dream.
