1928. Charlie Chaplin.
CC plays a tramp who is mistaken for a pickpocket. While escaping he lands up in a circus and causes some funny moments in an otherwise dreary circus that is losing attendance. He also falls in love with the owner's daughter, is hired for his ability to make people laugh and gets into all kinds of incidents including landing up in the lion's cage and on the tightrope. He conceives the situations brilliantly and somehow pulled it off with all those animals. Ends not too happily, because his love goes off with another guy - the tightrope walker and he quits the circus. Tragi-comic as always.
But brilliant!
