Billy Rose's Jumbo

It feels like I haven't done a post featuring a bright and crazy-costumed musical in ages. 

So.... here's Billy Rose's Jumbo (1962) - starring Doris Day, Jimmy Durante, Stephen Boyd and Martha Raye.

The plot is a simple one - Doris Day's dad (Jimmy Durante) owns a circus - a circus that is in danger of going out of business. Will it survive? Will she fall in love in the process of trying to save it? 

(Probably.)
