Atom User Reviews
Metacritic
Cecil B. De Mille in anachronistic decline, though a few critics insist it’s his most personal film.
Pat Graham
Chicago Reader
It has comedy, drama, thrills, melodrama, tragedy and great heart. [11 Jan 1952, p.54]
Kate Cameron
New York Daily News
Sprawling across a mammoth canvas, crammed with the real-life acts and thrills, as well as the vast backstage minutiae, that make the circus the glamorous thing it is and glittering in marvelous Technicolor--truly marvelous color, we repeat--this huge motion picture of the big-top is the dandiest ever put upon the screen.
