The Wagons Roll at Night

"I am giving this movie a rating of four stars because of the close-up action with the beautiful lions of the circus. (However, I also know that this type of animal training is not allowed anymore in any circus.) Moving on...as much as I love Humphrey Bogart movies, this time, I was disappointed by the cardboard character he was given to play. The movie never tries to explain why he is an angry man and is separated from his family, which is a large part of the storyline. But as usual, Bogart knows how to turn a phrase, and is confident in his own skin, as were most of the characters he played. Bogart stars opposite Eddie Albert, a wide-eyed farm boy who gets his chance to perform in a big city circus along with Bogart's character. I still enjoyed the acting performances of the cast, and saw a movie that I was not aware of starring one of my favorite actors of this era. Overall, that is a win.🥇"
