continues a season of films by the great British film-maker
Tonight starring Burt Lancaster
Tony Curtis and Gina Lollobrigida
Tino Orsini , a brash young American trapeze artist, comes to Cirque Bouglione with only one ambition - to learn the dangerous aerial somersault from an old
'master' Mike Ribble. In this classic circus picture filmed largely in the Paris Cirque d'Hiver, Carol Reed cast former acrobat Lancaster as the veteran 'flyer' Mike and captured some electrifying moments on the trapeze.
