Down on his luck, Seymour is a drunken has been until he runs into this group of amateurs in Peru, Indiana yearning to become circus stars. This Indiana-produced film is surprisingly charming in an off-beat kind of way. Interestingly enough, I've been to the circus in Peru and it's something else! This films brought a real smile to my face. The film is being released by Maitland Primrose Group in association with moving Pictures Magazine.
Sid Haig stars as Seymour Smiles, an old circus clown and current drunk, who returns to his small, Indiana hometown to live the rest of his days boozing in solitude. But when his childhood friend Bob (Richard Riehle) convinces him to help the struggling clown squad at the local circus, Seymour is thrust back into the place he fears most...the spotlight. Written and Directed by Ward Roberts, and set in the real-life Peru Amateur Circus (www.perucircus.com), witness the hilarious struggles of Seymour as his fight for redemption takes center ring.
