"The Greatest Show on Earth" spent one-third of the space to present the various performance scenes of the circus itself. Most of these scenes used long shots to shoot the circus's field performances, and then cooperated with the emcee of ceremonies arranged afterwards and many batches. The audience appreciates the circus shots. The combination of these shots is very rigid. The scenes and composition of the emcee’s announcement are even the same in size, reflecting that the director Cecil B. DeMille has no intention of making innovative breakthroughs in the film’s narrative technique. I want to finish filming the film smoothly so that my wish is enough

Midway barker: That's all, ladies and gentlemen, that's all. Come again to the greatest show on earth. Bring the children. Bring the old folks. You can shake the sawdust off your feet, but you can't shake it outta your heart. Come again, folks. The Greatest Show on Earth. Come again.
