I was born for it
When Power delivered that line - yikes! Shoulda got an Oscar just for that one moment.
shareTyrone Power was born for this movie. His polished, shiny good looks and big black eyes were all the better for playing a con man. No one could have pulled it off better. I saw it years ago, but several images are still ingrained in my mind.

He was barely recognizable at the end. Amazing performance.
shareIt is criminal that this movie is not considered a classic and that Tyrone Power and Ian Keith did not win their awards, let alone get nominated! Am I to believe that Ronald Coleman in Random Harvest was better? He's fine actor, but that was a sympathy award.
What an amazing movie filled with top notch performances.
Ronald Colman was nominated but did not win the oscar for "Random Harvest" he won the oscar for "A Double Life".
I agree that at the very least, Power should have been nominated for "Nightmare Alley". Perhaps the movie wasn't widely seen when it was first released.
Those who vote in the oscars are a strange bunch. Edward G. Robinson was never even nominated for an oscar, and he great in both gangster and non-gangster roles.
Whoops! My bad. I did mean "A Double Life."
Eddie G should have an Oscar for "Scarlet Street" and for "Double Indemnity"
I would also throw him many nods for many of his movies, even the underrated "Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse"!!
Don't get me started on Hitchcock never winning the Director Oscar!
