A fantasy directed and produced by George Pal.
A Chinese man brings his circus to a small town and sways public opinion in politics with his act.
The audio and video definitely show the age of this film, but were good.
check out: Harryhausen magic and monsters.
Despite the age of this movie, I like it quite a bit. Those 1960s Harryhausen effects suit it pretty well too. There are some Chinese stereotypes and jokes in the beginning like the opium pipe and Dr. Lao dropping coins on the floor but not caring. The main question that this film leaves unanswered is whether Dr. Lao was being all of the characters in his circus. If you like Ray Harryhausen's monsters and effects, you will like this movie.
