Plot Summary
An elderly Chinese man routs evil in a Western frontier town by setting up his circus for the townspeople. The various performers affect each of the circus' visitors in a different way, and in the end the unscrupulous citizen who dominates the town repents. Emmy-winner Tony Randall (TV's "The Odd Couple," "Gremlins 2: The New Batch") plays eight different characters in the movie, with the help of Academy Award-winning special visual effects and make-up that earned make-up artist William Tuttle a special Honorary Academy Award for his outstanding make-up achievement!
Customer Reviews
A fantastic classic
I watched this movie a month ago and I must say I loved it. It's such a great story that I cannot believe I missed it for some time. The acting is great! I cannot believe that Tony Randall portrayed all those roles in this movie! It's uncanny how he does all of that! I say if you want to watch a fun movie go check this out! You'll not regret it!
Brillant
Okay, first, you have to see past the cheesy stuff Hollywood put into the movie, such as the romance, the story of the town going dry, and of course you have to get past the Asian and Native American sterotypes. Underneath all of that is the story that Charles Finney wrote in 1935 titiled "The Circus of Dr. Lao." My favorite scene from this movie is the one where Curtis is playing the blind fortune teller with this flirtatous old lady. The scene is a brilliant reflection on the human condition. Blah blah blah, okay, its just a really good movie, so watch it! ;-) Kevin
