so great to see these beautiful women, Dorothy and Linda together in the same film. and in color! and look at Henry Fonda's blue eyes, love the Technicolor!🤩🤩🤩

That was worth watching just for the stunt riding training sequence at 24 minutes.

What an interesting story with some very fine acting.  The stars look so young and probably were.  Dorothy Lamour played one of her most interesting roles and she was so good.  Henry and Linda were in their prime and looked so beautiful.  Loved this movie.

I had never heard or even seen this Movie yet I really Enjoyed it immensely.  IT truly has some Great talent in it.

The technicolour is amongst the best in this.

Thank you for sharing this movie... I needed something light hearted and this was great!🌹

He was a cold distant father and husband in real life. Actors sure are well named hypocrites by the Greeks who excelled in dramas.

I wonder if this movie gave Walt Disney the idea for Toby Tyler?

Stayed to the end, waiting for a plot but never came. Still all in all walked away with a smile 😃

After Dorothy leaves for the rival outfit with the elephant, you just knew that the only solution was for Linda to do the bareback act in tights. They could have put Dorothy onto the jumbo in a miniskirt ...

If I remember correctly, director Henry King began his career in show business by running away with a travelling circus.

wow!  henry fonda at that age, not knowing what a huge career he'd have, how famous he'd become....  i've never seen him when he was so young.  that voice, the same as ever.  always recognizable.  i've always loved his voice.
 it looks like he first went by henry king, huh,  i didn't know that.  he was a great actor.  one of the best.  just wonder what good character qualities he had....        ty for posting.

Leisurely-paced pre- Civil War showbiz melodrama. Good cast muddling through an episodic plot.

This must have been quite a hit in 1940.  We need to see more little gems like this one.  Thank you for finding and uploading it.  Subscribing.

I LOVED IT    / THANK YOU THANK YOU   /  I NEEDED THAT   /  MY FATHER THANKS YOU MY  MOTHER THANKS YOU AND I THANK YOU ,   IT JUST MADE ME FEEL GOOD  / PLUS IT'S THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT  /  PS# MY MOM AND POP ARE IN HEAVEN AND I HOPE I AM GOING THERE WHEN TIMES UP  / KEEP THE FAITH

A lovely homage to the "mud show" circuses of the early-mid 19th century.  And just plain fun.  Thanks for having this.

They don't make um like this no more

Thank you so much for the great movie.
Love Henry Fonda.
Linda Darnell.

As a denizen of Rochester, I find it all too probable that the Rochester Water would kill off the lion. Also--since Henry's family was from upstate NY (Fonda, NY to be precise), he certainly didn't have to work on the aaaayksent.
