COMMUNITY REVIEWS

One of my alltime favorite movies!!! submitted by btmiller on March 17, 2007, 4:16pm If you haven't seen this movie request it now. If there is such a thing as guaranteed entertainment this is it.

Over the years it has held up well.

A must see.

really good submitted by kathscot on August 9, 2018, 7:56pm A classic film with many movie stars of the era.

Total classic submitted by RebeccaWittekindt on August 29, 2020, 10:31am This may have been the first movie I ever saw Heston in. Very well acted, especially by Stewart (didn’t even realize for half the movie the clown was him), and with -lent of drama.
