The Lion Tamer

A melodrama full of action, pathos and silent comedy from a bygone era, The Lion Tamer combines circus skills, slapstick comedy and live piano accompaniment to bring you a black-and-white movie show from the golden age of the silver screen. A down-at-heel showman is rapidly running out of acts for his travelling circus when a stranger arrives in town. When the lion tamer has an unfortunate accident, the newcomer is “volunteered” for the job with comic and catastrophic results.
