TRAPEZE (1956) ¢ ¢ ¢

Minor Watson, Gerard Landry, Sidney James
Lancaster and Curtis play trapeze artists whose plans to perform a daring triple somersault - Tony flying and Burt catching - are disrupted when the newest member of the act (Gina Lollobrigida) comes between them. The romantic stuff is predictable, but the storytelling's efficient, and you can't say it's not attractively cast. Lancaster was no stranger to circus acrobatics and did most of his own stunts. The cutting makes it pretty obvious when somebody else is filling in for Tony.
