Über diesen Film

Archaeologist Andrew Larabee tunnels below an English meadow, seeking a rare historical relic. His shoveling takes him back to the surface...and into the lions' cage during a circus act. Just like that, a star -- or at least a Joey -- is born. A Joey is circus-speak for clown and who better to play that clown than Danny Kaye? The effusive star unleashes his singing, swooning and jesting talents in this bright musical-comedy tale of circus extravaganza and romantic complications. Famed choreographer Michael Kidd (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers) makes his lone movie directorial effort one to cheer the heart, particularly with the rolling-bicycle number Everything Is Tickety-Boo and in the center-ring-romp Salud. Have a Merry Andrew time!

A pleasant little film that grows on you moving slowly …. It will rope you in if you stay with it …. Warm and feel/good corn with beautiful production values in CinemaScope and color!!

If you've got a streak of class clown in your bones, want to see some of the live circus act's seldom seen anywhere, and you want to be an Archaeologist this musical has you in mind. It's fun!

Very good musical. One of my all time favorites.
