The Greatest Show on Earth (1952)



Family film starring Charlton Heston, 2 Oscars
-Year: 1952
-Year in film: 1950s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: girl
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: low ?
-Rating:  2/10 *
-Rating: **
-Comment: At least one young girl in black bibs or similar looking pants/dress or shortalls/skirtalls. I don't know her name. Is she maybe a famous child actress? Pic is taken from the trailer.

I found this classic movie some times ago but still haven't checked it completely. I also somehow assumed an even earlier setting (and hoped for sailor suits as well). One girl in the circus audience has a dress with a collar similar to a sailor collar. Yesterday, by coincidence I had a circus movie on my other blog (Feuerwerk (1954), rating 7-8 with boys and some girls in good sailor suits).

I have to check this again the next broadcasting. Usually I like these classic movies, but don't like just circus scenes.

152 minutes, also starring Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde and Dorothy Lamour. Lot of actors (in the background) so maybe some quite good (other) scenes of interest.

Can't rate higher than 2 for now until I have seen other/better scenes/the complete movie.
