If you're in the mood for a circus movie, this has to be the best one out there. It has a super abundance of circus atmosphere that is vividly photographed in beautiful Technicolor, and three great parts for Burt Lancaster, Gina Lollobrigida, and Tony Curtis. Lollobrigida comes between Lancaster and Curtis,who are already an established act, with Lancaster as the "catcher" who was injured and walks with a limp, and Curtis as his protégé. Carol Reed weaves this dangerous romance which explodes into jealousy into the action and circus life, making a complex and engrossing drama, made all the more interesting by the Parisian setting, the animals which are wandering around in numerous scenes, and the range of circus employees, all committed to putting on a show.
score 9/10
