The Greatest Show!

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2020)

I have watched this movie multiple times and still enjoy it like it was new. The story is a compelling rags to riches tale, but so much more. Dealing with important topics of prejudice of all forms (race, class, money, appearance) it handles it with dignity and humility (when P.T. sees his own prejudice). The "show" itself is amazingly choreographed and the songs are beautiful and memorable. I've been told that this movie is not the truth of who P.T. Barnum was, but I don't really care. Fiction can be just as inspiring (or more) than fact!
