Sinekatalog’s take
Carol Reed's circus melodrama has Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis and Gina Lollobrigida in a love triangle on the high wire. Colourful and glossy, with thrilling aerial scenes, it is a handsome if conventional entertainment.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
