In search of a better life, a German girl named Willi joins an American carnival passing through Munich. While traveling from town to town, she is torn between two suitors: cruel carnival barker Joe and kindhearted high-dive artist Frank. Frank gets the upper hand when he asks Willi to join his act.

★★★ · She is one of us! · ElTuco131 · 2009-08-21

Nice simple and honest film, really a good surprise, good cast, good direction, absolutely nothing original, but true cinema work and well told story of a woman diver lost in love...

★★★ · Poor Grobo · Dr Feel Rotten · 2011-01-27

I knew Grobo was going to be the one who killed Joe. I knew that the first time he kissed Anne Bancroft at the wedding announcement and who wouldn't? Anne was one hot little number! If she were the same star today she would be THE hottest number on screen.. Anne Bancroft was a swell actress and stacked like a brick ..well you know what kind of house. LOL
