Amazon.com essential video:
The Greatest Show on Earth is a heaping helping of flapdoodle served up by one of Hollywood's canniest entertainers: producer-director Cecil B. DeMille. This overripe melodrama purports to be life inside the Ringling Brothers Circus; maybe it's not, but the circus ought to be like this. The actors wrestling with the purple dialogue are: early-career Charlton Heston, as the tough-as-nails circus manager; Cornel Wilde and Betty Hutton as trapeze artistes; and Gloria Grahame (who won an Oscar), dangling from elephants. Best of all, James Stewart plays a clown who--for mysterious reasons--never removes his makeup. (Stewart took the supporting role simply because he'd always wanted to play a clown.) This is a fried-baloney sandwich of a movie: it ain't sophisticated, and probably isn't good for you, but once you start you can't stop. It was the box-office champ of 1952, and it shocked everybody by winning the best picture Oscar. --Robert Horton

An epic of the time it was made. Another Heston movie, lots of action.

The 1952 Best Picture Oscar went to Cecil B. DeMille's The Greatest Show on Earth, a whopping piece of movie-making. Chock full of colorful costumes, daring stunts, delightful songs, pageantry and a legendary train wreck sequence, the picture is about as fun as a movie can be.
If you want a good idea of what "stars" were in the 1950s, all you have to do is watch The Greatest Show on Earth. Betty Hutton is top-billed as Holly, a trapeze artist with a larger than life personality. Her ... Read More

Did not receive any response or DVD from dvdlegacy. Amazon is great. After sending 2 emails to the sponsor Amazon promptly refunded my money and removed dvdlegacy from their list. It really pays to read the ratings before placing an order. I will continue to use Amazon as their customer service is fantastic.

Hard to prepare a favorable review for an item that was never received. I odrered this DVD a month ago, and have sent two follow-ups requesting shipping / tracing info, and have neither recieved a reply nor the DVD.
Thanks alot!

I have to say that unlike others, I love this movie just for the movie. I don't watch it as a documentry ot even because it won an Oscar eons ago. In fact the first time I saw it was when I was 12 and channel surfing, the act and the drama is what drew me into the movie. It had a fairly good plot, a simmering kind of love story, and just a feel good nature in general.
So buy for the pleasure, not the documentry!
