Well, good ol' Hoot does it again...that is, he holds together a film that is far from routine in the world of B-westerns. Although traveling elixir-selling carnivals and sideshows are known to us, few films feature one so integrally as this one. The story is imaginative in its detail and in the many varied characters that meander through the program.
There are some grim elements in the film that don't really register as such, and the general exposition is lightheartedly brought our way. It appears the cast and viewers alike are enjoying themselves in this film! Finally, Charles King has an unusual role that allows us to see him in a light different than normal. "Lucky Terror" is not really an apt title but it is a fun show!
