I had literally never heard of this film before...

I know my classic movies. My television is on TCM 80% of the time and I have never heard of this film. By accident, I pushed the wrong button on my DirecTV remote, and I see this movie being offered on pay-per-view. It says it's digitally remastered for the 50th anniversary of this "classic" film. All for only $5.99. A classic film that nobody has ever heard of-I asked my film group, only one person vaguely remembered out of 34 responses. I'm thinking only die-hard John Wayne fans will be the only takers for the pay-per-view.

I have seen every post-"Stagecoach" John Wayne film except this one. I never see it on TV.

Same here. I thought I knew of every major John Wayne film (certainly all the post-Stagecoach ones). I stumbled upon Circus World on youtube. It's posted in full there, for free (No links to other sites where you have to download virus-infested programs to view it. This is legit.):

It's only in 360p, but I think that's good enough for what is essentially a curiosity. It's not a very good film.

I was watching "Train Robbers" yesterday and reading the Trivia, Rod Taylor stated how he was supposed to work with John Wayne on "Circus World" but it fell through and he finally got to work with him on TR... Well, what was this "Circus World"????
I too found it on YouTube and watching it through Streaming Device on TV now, How has this been kept from US.... I too watch everything Duke... I watch his old 30's stuff over and over on Amazon and Online...
I consider this moving a Hidden Treasure I stumbled upon... Rita Hayworth, Claudia Cardinale are wonderful and I have always been a Lloyd Nolan fan so it is really Bonus Day!

My three favorite John Wayne movies are
Circus World
Hatari
Donovan's Reef

They are all good movies and a lot of fun.
