The Circus movie

For some reason I never heard about this movie, but I just saw it on HBO Asia...




heh. A musical like they used to make, which got lousy reviews but made a lot of money via word of mouth. Wikipedia article notes it didn't make a lot of money when it opened, but it continued to make money week after week, suggesting that people came to see it by word of mouth recommendation rather than hype.

As for Barnum, Librivox has his autobiography LINK.

I don't know if any of this is true (including the autobiography) but it is entertaining.

Wikipedia article on Barnum.
