The Golden Clown

1926 · 137 min

A sweeping silent melodrama that lifts you with circus charm and Parisian glamour before sinking into quiet, tragic heartbreak.

Overview: Joe, a circus clown, has a chance meeting with a famous French fashion designer, who – enthralled by Joe’s artistic talent – gets him a job in Paris. He quickly becomes the talk of the town, but as we know, wealth and happiness do not always go hand in hand, as opulent big-city living tragically seals the poor clown’s fate. (Stumfilm.dk)
