6/10
An opportunity lost?
21 November 2021
An early KAZAN film. I liked it a lot. Lots of frames shot with the great outdoors in the background. The plot is stretched for too long and the big finale that we expect never really arrives. But i liked the circus setting. Its basically about a circus owners plan to lead his whole circus across the border to freedom from communist rule. I think TARANTINO might be able to do something interesting with it.

GLORIA GRAHAME sizzles in this one. I dont think she has ever looked this beautiful. There is also an erotic outdoor bathing scene with the circus owners daughter and her lover quite early in the film.

The film looks gorgeous on bluray. But the script needed more interesting and thrilling scenes.
