The delightful Winnie Lightner stars in this comedy-drama as Pat, a traveling carnival troupe member who does everything from high diving to hula dancing, with time left over to romance meek and mild Sidney (Charles Butterworth) and try to save her younger sister, Irene (Evelyn Knapp), from a lecherous carny barker. The slapstick big-top finale is a highlight. (imdb)

PUNQ

Rated 22 Mar 2015

Side Show (1931) is one of those quirky show numbers that was produced the first few years of sound where it's more stage material chopped together in a random way then a coherent movie experience. A little music, a little circus comedy and a little family drama.Didn't help Lightner that Evalyn Knapp basically shined her off the screen with her blossomed beauty. Butterworth was simply the best thing in this even if a lot of his input was forcefully inserted.
