Entertainment Reviews:
[Charles Chaplin] does not seem satisfied with the hearty laughs that used to greet him, but seeks to embroider his farce with touches of pathos that make one uncomfortable with their incongruity.

...one of [Chaplin's] most unforgettable and melancholy films, one filled to the brim with unforgettable gags and set pieces.

There's an edge to The Circus that suggests a man gazing deep into the void, laughing at the darkness and urging us to do the same.

A sad clown masterwork that masks its tears with a smile.

From the Front Row
It is the political subtext and discussion of capitalism vs. communism that is the saving grace of The Circus, since the surface material, comprised of frantic slapstick mixed with maudlin and melodrama, is very standard for Chaplin.

Product Description:
This lavish production features Charlie Chaplin directing and also doing his Little Tramp bit. This time, the hapless vagabond seeks refuge from the law among the members of a travelling circus. He soon falls in love with the beautiful equestrienne and the film audience is treated not only to a big top spectacular, but a charming romance as well.
