Sometimes it seems this game is just a forum for a bunch of crazies to go at each other. I love this game, not many games today you can enjoy playing & actually learn something !!

funngirl111, Not true!!! My great uncle was a world famous lion trainer during the circus heydays (1920s-1940s) and was acclaimed for his humane and loving treatment of ALL of his animals which included lions, tigers, bears, mules, and elephants. Anyone who knows anything about animals understands that cruelty and neglect towards an animal makes them more dangerous to work with.
When his beloved Sheba died, my uncle was heartbroken. She had been his partner for decades.

funngirl111 I hate to disappoint you, but circuses are still very much a part of our world. however, the new upcoming trend is to use holograms for wild animal acts. also, there are laws governing how circus animals are treated.

WaldoLydeker, No, they both were good movies. I should know because my late Mother was a James Stewart fan and my late Father was a John Wayne fan who both most certainly watched The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

Worst Best Film Oscar pick ever! "The Quiet Man" should have won!

funngirl111, You know that for a fact because you visited and physically researched them all? Spewing out hearsay and a few articles doesn't make it a fact!

Oh yeah, the circus in the United States is dead thanks to PETA. Once the animals were gone, interest died and Ringling Brothers closed up shop.

Tina,
you are correct. His character was a medical doctor who was hiding from the law because of a mistake he once made. His identity is revealed after the climactic train wreck, where his medical expertise comes in handy at saving lives.

JimmyLovesQL, actually there are at least 5 circus's in USA and Barnum and Bailey to open in 2023

Will
He played a clown because he was a fugitive doctor who was wrongly accused of killing someone

Tina
I believe that the back story to Jimmy Stewart's character is that he wares the clown make up all the time because he is a wanted criminal. He believes no one will recognize him and that's why he is with the circus.

There's nothing like torturing elephants & tigers to teach children about exotic animals.
