Polar Bear Pyramid (From KLSDAD)

PolarBearPyramid, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. I somehow missed the circus movie "The Big Show" when it came out in 1961 in C i n e m a s c o p e! (Guess someone thought 9 years were enough to wait after "The Greatest Show On Earth" in 1952.) I read it opened at the Palace Theater in NYC to middling reviews. Thoroughly enjoyed watching Cliff Robertson and Esther Williams "swimming upstream" through the movie over last weekend. (She only appears once in a bathing suit and dives into a pool and backstrokes in a 15 second sequence, but beautiful in each frame.) The end titles mention Circus Krone in Munich being used for the movie. The highlight of the film is the polar bear display. Wonderful!! The end titles list the display as "Doris Arndt and the Ice Bears". Perhaps some of you were in the film!! Thought you might enjoy these clips from the movie. Regards.. klsdad
