Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. It's earliest documented telecast was Sunday 28 November 1948 on WATV, New York City.
Featured review
Join The Circus
When Allen Vincent's bank collapses, he tries to get a job. All his rich friends, however, will have nothing do with him, so eventually he winds up working at a circus. There he meets Boots Malloy.
It's directed by Harold Higgins. He entered the movies in the late 1910s, working as production manager and 'technical advisor' for Cecil B. Demille. He began to direct in 1922, and distinguished himself as one of the muscular male directors. His career began decline in early 1930s, and he died in 1938, age 47.
There's a lot of shots of carnival acts in this movie, some of them, like the high dive, shot from interesting angles. It's full of good humor and, for a Poverty Row pre-code, fairly entertaining, despite the mediocre acting of its leads.
