Description
Cast: Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, Gina Lollobrigida
A maimed trapeze artist (Lancaster) in a traveling European circus trains a young protégée (Curtis) to learn the triple somersault. Tensions mount when both men compete for the affections of a third aerial performer (Lollobrigida). Trapeze, presented in honor of Lancaster’s centennial, reveals not only the actor and former circus acrobat’s intense charisma, but also his remarkable physical agility.
