Trapeze**       

(US 1956)   

A trapeze artist teaches a young pretender to do a dangerous triple somersault in spite of the woman who comes between them.
The old hat love triangle, set vividly in a Paris circus capturing all the melodrama and the atmosphere of that environment, with some dedicated work by the stunt doubles. In spite of all the cliches, an ideal vehicle for Lancaster, who does (some of) his own stunts.
