This week we are discussing the 1952 Cecil B. DeMille film The Greatest Show on Earth starring Cornel Wilde. We have a raucous chat about the circus and our opinions on clowns, and then dive into talking about the great costumes by Edith Head, Dorothy Jeakins and Miles White, who all got nominated for an Oscar. We also discuss the controversy around this movie winning Best Picture, and costumes that got away. We hope you watch this movie if you haven't already. It's available on more than one streaming platform.
