Entertainment Reviews:
It is the political subtext and discussion of capitalism vs. communism that is the saving grace of The Circus, since the surface material, comprised of frantic slapstick mixed with maudlin and melodrama, is very standard for Chaplin.

It's a brilliant combination of light and darkness, tenderness and violence and, yes, laughter and tears.

The Circus is a magnificent film -- a mental tonic and a good hour's physical exercise. No one should miss it.

Even if it doesn't quite match the immortal likes of Modern Times or City Lights, The Circus still registers as prime Chaplin.

Film Frenzy
Product Description:
This lavish production features Charlie Chaplin directing and also doing his Little Tramp bit. This time, the hapless vagabond seeks refuge from the law among the members of a travelling circus. He soon falls in love with the beautiful equestrienne and the film audience is treated not only to a big top spectacular, but a charming romance as well.
