Breitbart didn't have a picture of Jeremy Williams but I searched through google images and found one. Only a negro would have a look of defiance on his mugshot after raping and murdering a 5 yr. old girl:

TCM's Film Noir of the Week Saturday Night-Sunday Morning at Midnight and 10 am ET is Edmund Goulding's Nightmare Alley (1947) with Tyrone Power, Joan Blondell, Coleen Gray, Mike Mazurki, Helen Walker, Helen Walker .
ReplyDeleteFilm Noir Guide: "This fascinatedly morbid film details the rise and fall of a fast-talking, sociopathic con artist (Power) who works at a traveling carnival. The ambitious roustabout and barker romances a kindly mentalist (Blondell) to obtain her secret mind-reading code after accidentally killing her dipso partner (Keith) by plying him with wood alcohol. After seducing Gray, the young girlfriend of the carnival's strongman (Mazurki), Power is forced into a shotgun wedding. Shortly thereafter, he and his bride leave the sleazy carnie life to become a successful nightclub mentalist team, using the secret code he weaseled out of Blondell. Not content with his newfound fame, Power teams up with Walker, a corrupt 'consulting psychologist,' who feeds him confidential information, which he uses to bilk her trusting patients out of their fortunes. The 'spook racket' is highly profitable for Power, but his spiritualist empire is threatened by Gray's basic sense of decency and Walker's greed. Matinee idol Power, cast way against type here, gives a strong performance. Blondell is terrific, too, as is Walker as the calculating femme fatale. The film's best scenes are early on at the carnival, where the star attraction is the 'geek,' a pathetic rum-dum who bits off the head of chickens for a bottle of booze and a place to sleep. Nearly forgotten and rarely seen, Nightmare Alley, despite its cop-out ending, is a memorable experience."
David In TN: Eddie Muller loves it but I was unimpressed. The film has just been remade.
