Movie Reviews of The Greatest Show on Earth
Movie Review: great clown movie
Summary: 5 Stars
despite its age, 1960's, if i recall, this movie is great for capturing so many of the classic r b&b clowns such as emmet kelly, etc. I don't like jimmy Stewarts white face, as it projects into the grotesque, but he is a good actor non the less. collectable for anyone loving the circus.
Summary of The Greatest Show on Earth
The Greatest Show on Earth is a heaping helping of flapdoodle served up by one of Hollywood's canniest entertainers: producer-director Cecil B. DeMille. This overripe melodrama purports to be life inside the Ringling Brothers Circus; maybe it's not, but the circus ought to be like this. The actors wrestling with the purple dialogue are: early-career Charlton Heston, as the tough-as-nails circus manager; Cornel Wilde and Betty Hutton as trapeze artistes; and Gloria Grahame (who won an Oscar), dangling from elephants. Best of all, James Stewart plays a clown who--for mysterious reasons--never removes his makeup. (Stewart took the supporting role simply because he'd always wanted to play a clown.) This is a fried-baloney sandwich of a movie: it ain't sophisticated, and probably isn't good for you, but once you start you can't stop. It was the box-office champ of 1952, and it shocked everybody by winning the best picture Oscar. --Robert HortonClassics DVD Video
