Description
"Darkness lurks behind the bright lights of a traveling carnival. Stanton Carlisle [is] a small-time carny whose unctuous charm propels him to fame as a charlatan spiritualist, but whose unchecked ambition leads him down a path of moral degradation and self-destruction. Although its strange, sordid atmosphere shocked contemporary audiences, this long-difficult-to-see reflection of postwar angst has now taken its place as one of the defining noirs of its era -- a fatalistic downward slide into existential oblivion"--Container.
