"A seedy American carnival tries to change its luck in Germany.Steve Cochran at at his sexy best as the bad guy. Cochran and Baxter have some hot scenes that are sometimes cut when this shows on TV. My dvd is intact with apparently, no cuts at all in the steamy shower scene. I gave the film a 4 but Steve and Anne rate a 5 for their romantic scenes."

Interesting carnival story

"Liked well enough to order a second copy as my first one was a different company and color inferior. All of cast give fine preformance on a story of carnival life. Anne Baxter is down and out and Steve Cochran ,the bad guy carnival employee offers Baxter job with carnival. Anne runs into one problem after another ,but overcomes them all by the end of the film. The story never drags and holds your interest and gives you a glimpse of the seedier side of carnival life."

Love is a trap for success

Jacques COULARDEAU | OLLIERGUES France | 05/24/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The story of a young German woman who gets entangled in an American Carnival touring Germany after WW2. Men are attracted to her, to help her, to love her, to use her. She has a great courage that enables her to move swiftly from the kitchen to the top of the carnival by becoming a star in a diving act. She is good, very good, and resolute to succeed. But she cannot manage her relations with men properly and leads them to death in the strangest conditions. She can only run away, with another man of course, away from the successive dramas. Love cannot be the tool of success nor of ambition.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU"
