A very well made British thriller directed by Sidney Hayers. Dr. Rossiter, alias Dr. Bernard Schueler(Anton Diffring)is a plastic surgeon on the run from England to France in the mid 40s. He gains control of a down-trodden circus to use as a front. The doctor gives female criminals a "new look" and then enslaves them as various acts in his circus...Circus of Beauty. When they want out; he offs them in a flamboyant manner.
Played throughout the circus sequences is the haunting song "Look For A Star" by Gary Miles; a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. Also featured in this horror/drama: Yvonne Monlaur, Donald Pleasence, Erika Remberg and Yvonne Romain.
