This heady concoction is one of Hollywood's more remarkable 'folies de grandeur' in which Spencer Tracy's power-hungry carnival man, evil streaming from his maniacal eyes, vies for attention with the inferno itself. This is the fairground sideshow to end them all: a monstrous pit of hell entered through the belly of a giant figure of Satan, and littered with infernal paintings and tableaux. Rita Hayworth has (under her real name, Rita Cansino) a supporting role in this remarkable cinematic curiosity which climaxes in a spectacular sequence set on board a floating casino.
