| User ReviewGregory WSilly circus melodrama involving a love triangle between Anne Baxter and a kindly high diver and a sleazy carnival barker. It's a completely dumb story and really the only reason to watch is for camp value. However, I did like the scenes where Baxter learns how to high dive. Those scenes felt like a magician revealing their tricks and were quite fun. |
