Brand new factory sealed dvd is a nice time capsule of late '60s carnival life. Going Out Of Print and no longer being manufactured.
Tired of fending off the advances of her sleezebag boss, greasy spoon waitress Jade Cochran (Claire Brennen) figures she can better her lot in life by getting a job with a carnival passing through the area. She sets about ingratiating herself with prosperous freak show proprietor Steve St. John (Bill McKinney, 'Deliverance') while also making time with handsome ride operator Blackie (Lee Raymond).
Jade and Steve are soon married, but the girl's continued liasons with Blackie have been observed by dwarf Shorty (Felix Silla, Cousin Itt on TV's Adam's Family), who eventually alerts his boss, setting the stage for murder and mutilation.
The master used for the mid-'80s Magnum Entertainment (US) and VEC (Canada) tape releases doesn't begin to compare to how terrific the film looks here. In this Special Edition the image is detailed and sharp, with attractive hues, and the source material looks fresh out of the lab; the sound is flat and hissy but at least it's coherent.
Step right up and see: Special features also includes a gallery of exploitation art and rare archival sound footage of an actual 1930s carnival sideshow!
