Who'll love it
One for anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.

Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 20 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1928: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Melrose's circus is being threatened by his competitor, who's angry that Melrose has outmanuevered him in bookings; what he doesn't know is that the competitor has also planted a saboteur who creates accidents in hopes of reducing the value of the circus. Meanwhile, he's also hired a beautiful young woman as the magician's assistant, with eyes toward more - but he realizes that, as a midget, she won't have him.
