Review of The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) by The-Lords A — 10 Apr 2013

Corny, melodramatic and cliche though it may be, this circus tale from, fittingly, one of Hollywood's greatest showmen, is not without charm or a sense of fun. A game cast, lots of great acrobatic sequences and spectacles (like the elephants or the famous train crash), and some very cheery, smile-inducing songs create an old fashioned type of charm and warmth that carry the picture over its sketchy plot and stock characters.
