Trapeze
High...High...High...Above Them All! - in excitement! - in spectacle! - in fire, flesh and fury!
Directed by Carol Reed
Produced by Joanna Productions, Hecht-Lancaster Productions
A high-energy circus spectacle centered on the physical and emotional risks of trapeze performance, where professional ambition and romantic tension collide.
A pair of men try to perform the dangerous "triple" in their trapeze act. Problems arise when the duo is made into a trio following the addition of a sexy female performer.
