The Show (1927)
The Show is a 1927 drama movie directed by Tod Browning, with a running time of 1h 16m. It stars John Gilbert, Renée Adorée and Lionel Barrymore.
Cock Robin is the swaggering ballyhoo man of a Hungarian sideshow known as the Palace of Illusions. The highlight of the show is a reenactment of Salome's dance of the seven veils, replete with the beheading of Jokanaan. The performer portraying Salome is in love with Cock Robin. Jealous, sinister The Greek is determined to eliminate that competition.
