Circus Boy
Directed by Cecil Musk1948 50mFamily
An excellent swimmer, Michael Scott is chosen to represent his school at a swimming competition but his nerves unfortunately fail him and he does not stand on the podium. His parents try to comfort him but in vain. His mother, a former circus artist, then urges him to accept an invitation to spend a month at the big top where she once worked. Mrs Prada, Mrs. Scott's former partner, has indeed invited the boy to join her and her two children and to share their lives during this time. Michael finally accepts and soon makes friends with Florence and George. Brother and sister are currently training for a funambulist act. Interested in their specialty, Michel starts learning how to walk on a tightrope too.
