Did you know
- TriviaThe failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.
- ConnectionsEdited from King of the Jungle (1933)
Featured review
Movies like this contribute to coulrophobia (the fear of clowns).
This is a B-movie from Pine-Thomas Productions, the B unit from Paramount Pictures. And, like a typical B, it runs about an hour in length and stars lesser talent from the studio--in this case Richard Denning and Buster Crabbe.
The story is set at a traveling circus. Several accidents have occurred with the lion taming act. First, Lola is killed while doing the act. Second, Blaney (Denning) is nearly killed when a lion goes berserk and his gun filled with blanks doesn't work. In the process, the clown, Smiley (Crabbe) is injured...and Blaney thinks Smiley is behind all these so-called accidents. But they need to prove it first....and that means keeping a close eye on Smiley.
It must have been interesting for the actors to make this film, as they really did have to do some lion taming in the movie. I hope they paid them a bonus for all this work!!
Overall, an enjoyable and quick film...with a satisfying ending. Worth seeing.
