The movie has an important message. It had to have all the side show antics, AND the pre WW2 setting otherwise no one would have allowed it to be made. Great actors. Good message, very relevant to today, to many many countries. Good story.

Down with Fascism everywhere, even North American fascism. Down with dictators who stir up the violent army trained mobs, in any country. So many great stars in this film took scale pay. Could have had more editing. A lot more editing. Reminds me of the important American plays of the early 20th century that stuck up for workers and called. Glad it got made.
