Chris Christian was one of the best traditional ringmaster’s during the 1950s and the 1960s. He appeared in the 1959 British film by Nat Cohan and Stuart Levy ‘Circus of Horrors’ starring Anton Diffring. This film used the entire circus of Billy Smart and of course the professional circus performers were taking the visual place of the various actors and actresses in the leading roles. During the 1970s whenwe toured our Civic theatre circus show he provided three novelty animal acts.
One scene from the 1959 film with Anton Diffring. The knife thrower was a well known circus/variety act known as Chief Eagle Eye.
