The Circus Clown
       Starring: Joe E. Brown, Dorothy Burgess
                         & Patricia Ellis
   
Brown plays a dual role, as would-be circus entertainer Happy Howard and his rustic old father. When dad, a former circus man himself, disapproves of Happy hitting the sawdust trail, the boy does so anyway, smitten by a beautiful female bareback rider. So naïve is our hero that he doesn't realize that the "girl" is actually female impersonator Jack, who strings Happy along just for laughs. Once this plotline is straightened out, Happy becomes the hero of the day by substituting for a drunken aerialist -- and there is no more proud or enthusiast spectator than Happy's happy dad. If Brown looks genuinely frightened in his scene in the lion's cage, he should; the lion affectionately pawed him during one take, resulting in six stitches in the comedian's arm. More serious than most Brown vehicles. This picture  is distinguished by the star's spectacular acrobatics (the real thing -- no doubles), and by some excellent
split-screen work during the "father/son" scenes.
