I just watched this video clip, in what is supposed to be HD, and I've seen better quality on/in the worst, most out of focus, YT videos! And they are charging $17.99 for this barely watchable piece of trash, in HD??!

This is a great movie 🎥. It's a love story and the love of the great show on earth. We would go and see the Circus when I was a child, to see a story behind the scenes is nice the actor are best Oscar nominees and winners. If you love Classic and this is what a classic movie is not something made in the 80s or 90s.
