The songs featured on this soundtrack album originate from the colourful musical-movie set around a circus. They were recorded with the MGM studio orchestra during 1962. I have to admit that on the whole the tunes are for me a little too slow and sentimental. However, if you enjoy a good ballad you will likely adore many of these performances that are given so tenderly!
