Review of Man on a Tightrope (1953) by Randy T — 25 Mar 2011
Fredric March leads his small circus troupe in a daring escape from Soviet occupied Czechoslovakia.
Say what you want about Elia Kazan and his shameful role in Joseph McCarthy's witch-hunt, the man could direct with the best of 'em. Man on a Tightrope could have easily become cliché ridden propagandistic tripe but Kazan has crafted it into something of substance.
...and nobody but nobody plays an opportunistic slut like the magnificent Miss Gloria Grahame!
