I enjoyed this movie for the atmosphere of the Paris circus, as well as action scenes. I have noticed that none of the other viewers have commented on the subtext of the movie that is obvious to some gay viewers: The character played by Tony Curtis could be interpreted as a bi lover of the Lancaster character. This adds some more tension to what many straight viewers see as a silly triangle love plot. I have read that the book this movie was based upon makes the subtext more obvious. The walking-on-hands scene is great! The fact that Lancaster was once a real circus performer and has shown some of his skills in action-comedy movies such as the Flame and the Arrow and The Crimson Pirate with his old circus partner enhanced my enjoyment of this flick.
score 7/10
