John Wayne Movie:

Circus World Reviews:
The Duke at his best
2008-09-04 - I watched this movie many years ago on the big screen. Reminds me of the Charlton Heston movie The Greatest Show on Earth, but much better. I can't wait to see this one. They have released a bunch, let this one go also.

Circus World
2007-11-28 - Searched a long time for this Classic John Wayne Movie. Happy to find it to be able to add this to my Collection

Great
2007-07-05 - I purchased the movie for my father who is an avid John Wayne fan and had never seen this particular movie.

"There was a bird in the tent."
2007-03-26 - Thats some of the smartest dialogue in this flick.

John Wayne runs a circus, says voodoo a lot, and searches for the elusive Lilly (Hayworth) who blame herself for her trapeze artists husband's death ona counta she was having an affair with the Duke. Lots of circus stuff, especially in Europe, and a fresh Claudia Cardinale to keep things interesting. Rita looks old, and the Duke wears the same costume he had in Sons of Katie Elder.

This 2 tape VHS set looks washed out. This really deserves a decent DVD treatment for historical content. 3 Clowns.

Another Blockbuster Production from Samuel Bronston
2007-01-04 - Samuel Bronston producer of epic productions such as EL CID and 55 DAYS AT PEKING turns to the circus for his setting of "Circus World." John Wayne plays Matt Masters who brings his exciting Wild West show to three rings under the Big Top across Europe. Veteran director Henry Hathaway applies his reputation for atmosphere and characterizations to make this more than just another formula movie. Dimitri Tiomkin's score lends just the right touch of melancholy often associated the circus. The ship disaster and the climatic fire sequences are truly spectacular. The film also features Rita Hayworth, Claudia Cardinale, Lloyd Nolan, John Smith and Richard Conte. This was originally filmed in single lens Cinerama Super Technirama 70.
