    Storyline

    • Trivia
      John Wayne was suffering from lung cancer during filming (although he didn't know it at the time). He already had a chronic cough, and after the near fatal fire scene accident he started spitting up spots of blood. He continued to chain smoke cigarettes, still unaware of the real cause. The intense fire stunt seemed to inflame his condition.
    • Goofs
      Whilst the film is taking place in 1901, there are several mistakes with the European flags. One example is the Finnish flag that is seen in the movie. Finland didn't achieve independence (and the flag) until 1918.

    Behind the ... stage
    It's not an in depth look behind the scenes of a circus. But you will get to see a few things that you might not have known. The core is the story of Wayne and his family. His two families so to speak. It's nicely told, even if some things seem to happen just like that, without much of a problem (or the problem being resolved too easily).

    There are quite a few stunts on hand here and they are decent enough. Though sometimes when John Waynes character is doing risky things, it is so obviously not John Wayne but his stunt man, that it almost hurts. That is of course something that should not be a big problem. Or do not let it be one, if you can.
