Noir Canon

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

In the definitive carny-noir, roughneck carnival worker Tyrone Power schemes his way into a mind-reading act and becomes a top midway attraction, but when he tumbles, there’s no net to break his fall. In 35mm.

ABOUT THIS SERIES

The people have spoken, and have told us they want more Film Noir. So we return with a selection of the most important and best of these dark stories of tough guys and femmes fatale, of rainy streets and very, very bad life choices. The first screening of each will be preceded by an informative introduction by AFS Lead Programmer Lars Nilsen.
