Circus Girl (1937)
A pretty good sideshow tragedy.

A very interesting gem, this John H Auer film. I have never heard of it before. We could say it's a circus feature. One more. Of course, it's not as blazing as Cecil B De Mille's GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. But it's quite interesting anyway. A tale of jealousy, murder, treason and revenge among circus people, acrobats, to be more specific. I have seen some films of this kind, and I don't remember all the titles, sorry. One of these was directed by William Berke.

Back to this one, the story is well paced, efficient in the shooting, and the climax palpitating.

A very good gem. Forgotten gem. Such a shame.
