As a child, I adored anything to do with the circus. This show featured circus acts from different European locations each week. I watched it for a whole year each Friday evening, I think during 1961-62, approx.

I watched the Dick Cavett show in order to see his very interesting guests. Unfortunately, Mr. Cavett always seemed to do most of the talking so I was usually infuriated at not hearing much from the guests. I'd say Cavett was the worst TV interviewer I have ever seen.

It's not as uniformly excellent a screwball comedy as My Man Godfrey, or You Can't Take it With You, but if you stick with this, there are some funny scenes that make it worthwhile watching. Brian Aherne is awfully funny here, as are scenes with Patsy Kelly and Alan Mowbray as the put-upon butler, with the redoubtable Billie Burke as a silly but lovable lady of the house. Add to that two dogs. So, it's not a perfect film, but there aren't nearly enough screwball comedies in the world, so if you want some light-hearted entertainment, give this a shot.
