What A Circus!
My head is still spinning from watching this, what a hoot! Joan's big fake hairpiece! Her glamorous frocks with matching gloves! Ty Hardin's sparkly high waisted pants! Intelligent poodles! Joan's reaction to a horrible death? - hand to mouth, then looks pained and mouths, 'no!...no!..."
Seriously, I couldn't help but be impressed with that real circus. There they all are, puttering down the road in little trailers on to the next town. And then they set up and, my God, the ANIMALS! Lions, tigers, llamas, horses, ponies, elephants, not just a couple of each, but DOZENS! And dozens and dozens of performers and clowns, all dressed to kill. The sheer size, the logistics of running such an operation! Not to worry, there's our Joan, handling everything with no problem, and ALSO appearing as a sexy ringmaster. Where DOES she find the time?
I think if such a circus were operating today, if it was even practical or possible, tickets would be $100 apiece. Can you imagine the cost?
