I was a small child and my grandfather was showing this movie, telling me that he loved it when he was young.... Now I'm almost 39... I'll see it again! I love you grandpa
I just went to the Santus circus in the UK and I can honestly say it was the best £10 I've ever spent. I laughed, I gasped, I cheered. Go support the circus if theyre in town.
Not to say Betty Hutton was not talented....but...that overacting!! It worked for the few movies she was in but that explains one of the reasons her film and television career was sporadic and kind of short lived! She should have stuck to stage and live performance. She would have been much more famous and probably happier. I cannot imagine many film parts that would allow her all those bigger than life "reactions"...."gestures"....and "cartoon like expressions" that are meant to be played to the back of a full house!! She had a lot of talent. What she needed was some control and some formal acting training. She once stated that she thought she was an ok singer and dancer but thought herself an excellent actress. I disagree. I feel, with proper training, she was a very good singer. She was also a good dancer. She was a good "stage" comedic actress but needed much training to adapt herself to film or dramatics. She also had great energy!!
Ya I kinda noticed that. Her reactions weren't very natural. This was the 1st movie I saw featuring Betty Hutton. I was pretty young then and remembering I liked the movie. Seeing it now yrs later, I can see room for improvement😄
It's a candy-spun world of laughter that lasted nearly a century and a half, and now will be gone forever. Looks like the animal rights activists have won: the circus is dead and never coming back.
if you read the current reviews of this movie, the leftists have trashed the movie, saying it's the worst picture to ever win an Oscar, most likely because of their hatred for the Circus. It's not enough to kill the Circus in real life, now they have denigrated a great movie so everyone will hate the Circus just as they do.
@@JENDALL714 Hatred of the circus has nothing to do with the film. It was not the best picture of the year look at better films like Singin in the Rain, Limelight, High Noon, or Rashomon any of those should have won over this! Also this is one of the worst Best Picture choices along with How Green Was My Valley over Citizen Kane, Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan, Chariots of Fire over Raiders of the Lost Ark, Annie Hall over Star Wars, To name a few

"They'll never find me behind this nose," right Jimmy, couldn't miss that voice if I were stone deaf.
Another one of my favourite movies.
We have a youth circus here in Peru, Indiana every July. They do just about everything that Ringling does. Also, we have Betty Hutton's trapeze!
Cool artifact.
I miss Ringling bros circus so much
might as well watch this in honor of the passing of the real show on earth
I Just Saw This Friday And I Was Captivated Jus Like AJ Styles This Films’ Phenomenal !
It's obvious where Steven Spielberg got his inspiration for creating an Indiana Jones look.
That bass drum....!
Last Oscar winner for Best Picture to win fewer than 3 Oscars until Spotlight (2015).
So fing what?
I love this movie!!
Me too, I've just watched it in 4 minutes!
In 100 years, kids will be asking.. what's a circus?
No, in just few Years
100 years I'm gonna guess less than that 🥰

Want to know the music played during midget bareback riding scene, please.
Bollywood copied this movie Mera Naam Joker (translation: My Name is Joker) is a 1970 Hindi film
Too bad the circus has folded up it's tent permanently!
The Big Apple Circus (out of New York) still exists but the Coronavirus / lockdown may kill it off.

Polly Ledwell I agree! Not as good an actress as she thought she was!

But...this is the type of film that needs such an energy.
@@goodgood9955 Betty had so much energy i thought she was gonna have a stroke
