Old movie but worth watching A++++.......2006-08-05

Old movie but worth watching .The sound quality and picture quality is not that good since it was made in 1954,but it is very enjoyable to watch.I first purchased this movie at a discount store.There was 2 movies on the DVD,
Carnival Story and another film.When I was in the middle of watching
Carnival Story the sound suddenly became muted in the last half of the film.I liked the movie so much that I ordered one from amazon just to see how the movie ends..The movie stars Anne Baxter who played " Nefretiri " in the remarkable Ten Commandments.It is about a traveling carnival show touring in Germany.Baxter first falls in love with one guy who works at the carnival,but he turns out to have a deceptive character ,he ends up dying from a 100 foot fall from a ferris wheel..Then she falls for another man,the high diver who stars in the carnival.He performs daily diving off a 200 foot ladder into a fire-lit pool below.He ends up dying from a fall .Lastly when you think Baxter's love life is a tragedy.She links up with a 3rd man who was a close friend of the high diver.If you like to watch old movies ,this is a good choice.

Carnival Critique.......2006-02-25

Although the film suffers from a poor soundtrack and which is
sometimes over-the-top,the acting by the three leads is superb. This is a very worthwhile film from Germany.Added plus, no
subtitles or dubbing.

Love is a trap for success.......2002-05-24

The story of a young German woman who gets entangled in an American Carnival touring Germany after WW2. Men are attracted to her, to help her, to love her, to use her. She has a great courage that enables her to move swiftly from the kitchen to the top of the carnival by becoming a star in a diving act. She is good, very good, and resolute to succeed. But she cannot manage her relations with men properly and leads them to death in the strangest conditions. She can only run away, with another man of course, away from the successive dramas. Love cannot be the tool of success nor of ambition.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU

Tawdry,trashy tale of circus life.......2001-12-28

An American carnival,failing to draw the crowds Stateside,decides to tour Germany in a bid to restore its fortunes.
The carnival ramrod,played by Steve Cochran,is robbed by a destitute young German woman,Willi,played most unconvincingly by Anne Baxter.Instead of handing her over to the police he offers her a job with the carnival as a kitchen skivvy and the two begin an affair that runs into complications when the carnival's star attraction ,a high diver ,takes her under his wing and makes her part of the act,and subsequently marries her.
The stage is then set for illicit romance,suspicious deaths and near fatal injuries before the final confrontation on a ferris wheel brings proceedings to a merciful ending

The major problem for me was that never for one second did Baxter persuade me that she was capable of entrancing not just her male colleagues but a freelance photographer(a wooden George Nader)let alone become a star circus performer in her own right,something which takes years of dedication and practice,not a few days instruction.The void which this leaves at the centre of the movie undermines its credibility
Cochran and Bettger,who plays the high diver are fine here,and there is a sturdy cameo from the ever reliable Frank Faylen
Garish colour and flat direction further drag things down.The colour is horrible as well-really harsh and garish.

If you want circus movies track down "Trapeze",or "The Greatest Show On Earth" for ones that get it right.

interesting carnival story.......2001-03-26

Liked well enough to order a second copy as my first one was a different company and color inferior. All of cast give fine preformance on a story of carnival life. Anne Baxter is down and out and Steve Cochran ,the bad guy carnival employee offers Baxter job with carnival. Anne runs into one problem after another ,but overcomes them all by the end of the film. The story never drags and holds your interest and gives you a glimpse of the seedier side of carnival life.
