The Hecht-Lancaster production moves deep into the color and sweat of circus life and its myriad characters.

An insistence for accuracy --presumably by Lancaster-- is evident.

Enjoyable trash: Carol Reed's circus melodrama is one of his most commercially successful but artistically weakest film; there's more erotic tension between Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis than between either man and love interest Gina Lillobrigida.
