I believe it was Frank "Basketcase" Henlotter who once named this as
his all time favorite film, solely based on the absurdity of the wildly
purple plot.
He's got a point, what with a wanted man hiding by becoming
ringmaster of "the jinx" circus, where the star attractions have a way
of getting knocked off. If you saw this, like me, years ago on a little black and white
T.V.(on UHF) the great, loaded, letterboxed DVD of this colorful film
will come as a real revelation. This is great, well acted, B movie fun a lot of people are yet to
discover. The thin, still with hair Donald Plesence had already been in
films for many years when he did his memorable small part in this. Check
it out!
