I thought the first story (Moira Shearer and James Mason, Ballet) was pretentious and dull. I wish the TCM commentator would not pronounce her name as Moria.
The second story (Leslie Caron) was done better by Big, even though I love watching Leslie Caron.
The third story (Kirk Douglas and Pier Angeli as trapeze artists) was well-written, well-acted, well-filmed and very moving, better than the other two put together. It was memorable, as a love story, while the other two were very forgettable. Having videotaped this movie, I would have recorded another over it, were it not for the third story. I would give it, the circus story, a 9, the ballet story a 4, and the governess story a 5. Also it was interesting to see the almost-forgotten Pier Angeli. She acts well here.
