The Greatest Show on Earth Series: Cinematic Atlas: The Triumphs of Charlton Heston [Aug. 29 – Sept. 4, 2008] Director: Cecil B. DeMille, Country: USA, Release: 1952, Runtime: 152 “Heston gives his circus manager the requisite clenched-teeth readings, and supporting players Gloria Grahame and Jimmy Stewart (as a clown) turn in worthwhile performances.” - Time Out New York DeMille takes us to the circus as it should be in this Best Picture-winning docudrama extravaganza. Heston is Brad Braden, the troubleshooting general manager for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, who has his hands full keeping high-flyers Betty Hutton and Cornel Wilde in line—along with 1,400 circus performers and staff, hundreds of animals, 60 train car loads of equipment and a few corrupt concessions racketeers. Mounted on a lavish scale, The Greatest Show on Earth also features spirited performances by Dorothy Lamour, Gloria Grahame, and Jimmy Stewart as Buttons the Clown. Edith Head’s fabulous costumes and a spectacular scene involving a massive train collision accent this unforgettable, big-screen experience, made all the more vivid in this new 35mm print.
