The Big Show

Circus family drama

That&apos;s my second James B Clark&apos;s favourite films after his delicious and surprising ONE FOOT IN HELL, a western that was unusual at the most. All that before Jim Clark lost his soul in stupid Disney like - or not - movies, as Robert Stevenson or James Neilson. This film is totally underrated, forgotten now. It is a good and effective drama where Cliff Robertson and Robert Vaughn face off in a brilliant way for my taste. I don&apos;t even mention the glamorous presence of Esther Williams which brings some spice to this story. We can consider it as a circus film but not the greatest though. I was lucky enough to see it in LBX frame.
