The search
12 August 2005
A fellow movie buff wanted the name of a movie which he could not find anywhere. He gave me the clues of many great old stars and something about a Paganini piece, trapeze aerialist, ballet, suicide and Farley Granger. He had caught some fleeting scenes at a distant TV movie presentation and wanted to find the film for purchase if at all possible. First, I searched for a ballet theme, but found too many movies to consider. Then, I tried films about violinists, no luck there. For some reason, when I searched Farley Granger's filmography, I could not find the right combination. At length, I had to rely on my memory and thought of Bert Lancanster and Kirk Douglas in a film concerning circus performers. Nothing under Bert Lancaster, but when I looked at Kirk Douglas' list in this data base; voilà, I found this film. I was very pleased to tell him the name.
