Featured review
Rise and fall of Everard circus
The best performance in the movie is by Nehemiah Persoff's as Everard father. The main problem is that any of the characters is kind or sympathetic nor well written (Carol Christensen does not have much to do with her sister's role) and this, added to a poor script burdens the film. Esther Williams' appearance is little more than anechdotic and she appears in a swimming pool in a glimpse of what could have been the best part of the movie. Best performances run on the animals' account, which I am not very fond of as a form of slavery. Even a hippo appears (I had no idea they could be tamed). The end is totally absurd and preposterous, adding a silly final curtain.
