Summary: Circus World
Comment: Searched a long time for this Classic John Wayne Movie. Happy to find it to be able to add this to my Collection
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great
Comment: I purchased the movie for my father who is an avid John Wayne fan and had never seen this particular movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: "There was a bird in the tent."
Comment: Thats some of the smartest dialogue in this flick.
John Wayne runs a circus, says voodoo a lot, and searches for the elusive Lilly (Hayworth) who blame herself for her trapeze artists husband's death ona counta she was having an affair with the Duke. Lots of circus stuff, especially in Europe, and a fresh Claudia Cardinale to keep things interesting. Rita looks old, and the Duke wears the same costume he had in Sons of Katie Elder.
This 2 tape VHS set looks washed out. This really deserves a decent DVD treatment for historical content. 3 Clowns.

Summary: Another Blockbuster Production from Samuel Bronston
Comment: Samuel Bronston producer of epic productions such as EL CID and 55 DAYS AT PEKING turns to the circus for his setting of "Circus World." John Wayne plays Matt Masters who brings his exciting Wild West show to three rings under the Big Top across Europe. Veteran director Henry Hathaway applies his reputation for atmosphere and characterizations to make this more than just another formula movie. Dimitri Tiomkin's score lends just the right touch of melancholy often associated the circus. The ship disaster and the climatic fire sequences are truly spectacular. The film also features Rita Hayworth, Claudia Cardinale, Lloyd Nolan, John Smith and Richard Conte. This was originally filmed in single lens Cinerama Super Technirama 70.

Summary: Family entertainment
Comment:
Claudia Cardinale is gorgeous here. She is evidently the best ingredient in the film. Good enough movie for a family gathering in the afternoon. Melodrama, grand sets, Claudia and the Duke all together.
Now about my copy: A region 2 from Spain. It includes among the extras (only text extras) a Spanish film critic criticizing Mr. Wayne -but not for the way he does his role- for getting rid of Frank Capra, as he was the original director for this work, and bringing his pal Henry Hathaway in. And then the critic proceeds to award him three derogatory names. Well, Mr. Wayne isn't around anymore to defend himself, but I say this: You can't insult the Duke and have my money. I'm not buying anymore European Region 2 copies.
