Baile de ilusiones

Depression-era carnival huckster lures desperate hopefuls into a lethal dance endurance contest for spare change. A has-been, a sailor, a blonde with a dream, and a girl with child shuffle past trauma and fatigue while the emcee bets on their collapse. Hollywood’s last gasp of backstage grotesquery.
