If you loved Samson and Delilah, try The Greatest Show on Earth

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Cecil B. DeMille, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Samson and Delilah, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Greatest Show on Earth is

Circuses are already dramatic, but this one adds romance. Brad Braden hires The Great Sebastian to boost profits. It predictably sparks on and off stage tension.
