Too bad the old champ wasn't there that day or it would have been a perfect Sunday.
Seeing it now on a formatted VHS the awesomeness of the spectacle during the scenes of the circus fires and the capsized ship in the harbor is really lost. It's quite an eyeful and should only be scene in theaters.
And the film would be revived, but we have a subdued John Wayne here and it's not for the better.
This was originally to be a Frank Capra film and Capra bowed out after creative differences with the Duke and some of the Duke's personal entourage. Read the Capra autobiography to find out exactly what they were, but they weren't fully fixed in the final product by director Henry Hathaway who later piloted the Duke to his Oscar in True Grit.
John Wayne was a guy who was usually very careful to give the public the Duke they expected. Even when he stretched his abilities it was done with a firm directorial hand.
We're asked to accept the Duke as a man who had an adulterous affair here. He also does not throw one punch in this entire film or fire a weapon in other than it being part of his Wild West Show. The people went to see John Wayne, but they didn't get their money's worth.
Pity because it would have been great to see John Wayne with Rita Hayworth in a great film. That couldn't have happened when they were younger because of Rita's contract with Columbia pictures and Wayne's personal boycotting of that studio because of his dislike for Harry Cohn. That story I won't go into.
Rita Hayworth who doesn't enter into the film until almost halfway through is fine as Wayne's lost love. She and Claudia Cardinale looked just fine in tights as trapeze artists. Lloyd Nolan as Wayne's sidekick is always good.
Richard Conte is Hayworth's brother-in-law and Cardinale's uncle. This fine actor is wasted here in a part that either was badly written or left on the cutting room floor.
John Smith was a Wayne protégé of sorts, Wayne gave him an early break in The High and the Mighty which he produced. Smith went on to star in the Laramie TV series and on completion of that he was cast opposite Cardinale, probably at Wayne's insistence. I remember always wondering what happened to him because he left show business shortly afterwards. Then back in the Nineties I read he had died of cirrhosis of the liver. I guess you can fill in the blanks.
At the time Circus World came out, there was on television a prime time series called International Showtime. It was on Fridays at 8 pm. and it was set in a different city in Europe every week. Hosted by Don Ameche it featured the very best circus acts in the world. So did Circus World, but it certainly was no incentive for people to come out to see this when they could see the same thing at home. Also Paramount re-released Cecil B. DeMille's The Greatest Show on Earth to a brisk box office business at the same time Circus World came out.
So for all these reasons Circus World flopped and bankrupted producer Samuel Bronstein. Nevertheless if you're a circus fan you will enjoy seeing this. But it's not the Duke his fans have come to expect.《大马戏团》下载观后评论：2.5星，真是部看了让人格外心痛的电影。。。西部英雄成了马戏团的“小丑”，性感美女已经沦落为憔悴老太。。。当然难过以外也发现了剧本的有趣之处，影射与反影射在这个本子里随处可见。。。虽然不知道哈撒韦为啥要拍戴米尔电影但至少从另一个角度再次印证了导演们的小丑梦。。。亨利哈撒韦导演，尼古拉斯雷编剧，主演是我最喜欢的男演员之一和我心目中最性感的女演员之二；全世界都爱拿意呆利迷信开涮吗；CC从没萌成这样过，丽塔海华丝五官依然精致（所以更让人唏嘘）；46岁就已经被阿兹海默困扰太可怜了，韦恩起初的鄙夷几分是自然流露？看卓别林的电影你永远不会觉得他过时因为在那个快100年前的人们有着与我们完全不同的生活环境与道德观念用我们这辈人的思维来套是绝对不合宜的看完我又开始糊涂什么才叫爱？为了所谓的爱可以付出到什么程度？[西部][大马戏团].CircusWorld.1964.01.英语中卡丁娜那胸那屁股6.7/10/
