Here's another good one. A few months ago I heard about it or read about it somewhere, and knew I had to have it, so I searched Amazon for used DVDs and found one cheap. I just finished watching it now. It's quite good. 100% of the cast consisted of real-life circuis performers, side-show freaks and other human anomolies. There were: a half man/half woman, a sword swallower, pinheads, dwarfs, a woman with no arms who did a lot of things with her feet, conjoined twins, a living torso, etc. The story had to do with one of the performers who was "normal" who took advantage of, and married, one of the dwarfs to get at his money (big inheritance). She even tried to kill him by putting something in his drink. It was quite good. The only problem I had with it was, it ended very quickly, as movies from that era usually do.
