Watched online; print is cropped and/or pan/scan, and very blurry.

Soundtrack (and AFI catalog) lists only 3 songs, 1 each for JL & DM, 1 duet.

Indeed this is not a musical, not even close.

The film did not engage me at all. The poor print, the lack of musical performance, and the circus theme all contributed. I never spotted Nick Cravat, don't remember Sig Ruman here. Didn't follow why DM went from day laborer to bossing everyone. JL as the clown makes perfect sense, but shrug-worthy to me.
