Picture and sound quality is excellent. Reminds me of when I was a child and would go with my grandmother in the early 1950's to see the greatest show on earth under the big top, not in a stadium. Also when I was able to still take my son to a 3 ring circus still under the big to in the 1980's. As Steven Boyd sings "spend an hour or two at the circus". Parents should show this movie to their kids. So they can see what the magic of the circus was really like.
