Although the film suffers from a poor soundtrack and which is <br />sometimes over-the-top,the acting by the three leads is superb. This is a very worthwhile film from Germany.Added plus, no <br />subtitles or dubbing.
Viewer Reviews Old movie but worth watching .The sound quality and picture quality is not that good since it was made in 1954,but it is very enjoyable to watch.I first purchased this movie at a discount store.There was 2 movies on the DVD, Carnival Story and another film.When I was in the middle of watching Carnival Story the sound suddenly became muted in the last half of the film.I liked the movie so much that I ordered one from amazon just to see how the movie ends..The movie stars Anne Baxter who played " Nefretiri " in the remarkable Ten Commandments.It is about a traveling carnival show touring in Germany.Baxter first falls in love with one guy who works at the carnival,but he turns out to have a deceptive character ,he ends up dying from a 100 foot fall from a ferris wheel..Then she falls for another man,the high diver who stars in the carnival.He performs daily diving off a 200 foot ladder into a fire-lit pool below.He ends up dying from a fall .Lastly when you think Baxter's love life is a tragedy.She links up with a 3rd man who was a close friend of the high diver.If you like to watch old movies ,this is a good choice.
