“Christopher Lee in u0026quot;Circus Of Fearu0026quot;. Itu0026#39;s got to be a horror movie, right ? Well, no. u0026quot;Circus Of Fearu0026quot; is a pretty classic-style whodunnit full of red herrings and characters with skeletons in their cupboards.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt starts with a very dramatic and almost silent armoured car heist which goes terribly wrong when a security guard is shot and killed. The gang escape and divide up the loot, saving one share for their boss who only communicates with them via the phone and who none of them have ever seen. The action soon moves to the winter quarters of Barberiniu0026#39;s circus – which appears to be somewhere in Berkshire! There is a quite surreal shot of a line of elephants and camels moving down a suburban street. The rest of the film takes place here, its anglo-German cast perfectly capturing the international flavour of the circus. And it is here that the murder mystery element of the film really takes off. Leo Genn is u0026#39;Gentleman Jimu0026#39; Elliott, the police inspector investigating the heist. Though it seems most of the circus folk are keeping an eye on each other. Christopher Lee makes a startling appearance as Gregor, the lion tamer, who wears a black hood at all times to hide the horrible scars he received when he was attacked by a lion. The film was written and produced by Harry Alan Towers, for whom Lee made the series of Fu Manchu pictures, and directed by John Moxey, for whom he had made the 1959 occult chiller u0026quot;City Of The Deadu0026quot;. There are pleasures to be had from cameo appearances by the likes of Cecil Parker as Elliottu0026#39;s superior and Klaus Kinski who gets to lurk menacingly as a member of the gang. Itu0026#39;s not long before more bodies start piling up. But who is the killer ? Is it Barberini, the circus owner with financial troubles ? Mario, the jealous knife-thrower ? Maybe itu0026#39;s Mr. Big, the blackmailer ? Or Karl, the ringmaster with an unhealthy interest in Gina, Mariou0026#39;s girlfriend ? Or maybe itu0026#39;s Gregor, whose brother is in jail for murder ? Iu0026#39;ve seen the film. I know the truth. The killer is..Aaaarghh!”
