Three and a half Stars.” – Video Librarian“In a fascinating look at an American institution, this excellent production relies on solid voice-over narration as well as interviews with historians and a circus performer to tell the fascinating story of this famous entertainment empire, from its humble origins and glory years to its eventual demise . . .
