Review of The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) by Kelly W — 26 Nov 2007

Do I usually dislike DeMille? Yeah. He's a pompous old coot most of the time. But this movie features, and I can't stress this enough. A clown who is not only a doctor, but a murderer. And in an entirely non-sci fi outer space killer klown kind of way.

Plus, its about the circus, which I hate usually, but the actors make it seem like the circus doesn't smell like cabbage and shattered dreams...A bit dull and long-winded if you're not in the right mood.
