Pros: Color and some of the music.
Cons: Well...it does go on...and on...and on..
A lot of viewers and reviewers are pretty rough on this movie. I have to admit that it is outrageous that it won the Best Picture Oscar of 1952 over HIGH NOON and SINGIN' IN THE RAIN. But there is a LOT of fun in the film. I am NOT a circus fan, ...

Pros: Good action drama
Cons: Not a thing unless you don't like the circus
They said Betty Hutton stood on her head to get the part for this one and she finally got it. She played her part with more enthusiasm than I've seen in the movies in a long time. She gave the performance of her life in this movie and didn't receive...
