Notes
Now regarded as a landmark film but virtually disowned by MGM when it was first produced, Browning’s film, set in a travelling circus, works as an old-fashioned morality play against avarice. Browning used a collection of handicapped actors and performers for the circus community, which initially welcomes the beautiful trapeze artist Cleopatra into their group when she marries midget circus owner, Hans.
60 minutes.
