Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Discharged soldiers Lewis and Martin run away and join the circus. Not one of the duo's most inspired vehicles, but there's a certain pleasure to be had watching Lewis pull faces at the lions. While the buck-toothed comedian gets up to his usual histrionics, Martin, the most laid-back actor since the late Robert Mitchum, tries in his own desultory way to fend off the advances of the equally predatory Zsa Zsa Gabor.
