Carnival Lady (1933)
7/10
Despite being a cheap production, this is very entertaining.

Interestingly, if you pay attention, you'll see that the three males leads are named Tom, Dick and Harry! Well, the story centers on Tom. When the film begins, he has a nice job at a bank but when the bank fails, he's out of work and his fiancee calls it quits. So, with nothing holding him, Tom takes off to see the country and find a job. Eventually, he lands at a carnival where he soon becomes a big attraction doing high dives into a shallow pool. Along the way, he finds romance and a couple pals. There also comes....death!! But to find out about that and what happens when Tom meets up with his old society friends...watch the film.

Usually a low budgeted film from a so-called 'Poverty Row Studio' is a terrible thing. But this one is written well and NEVER has a dull moment. So despite the budget and a cast of no-namers, it's surprisingly good and is currently posted to YouTube. Well worth seeing and shockingly good...so much so I nearly gave it an 8.
