Freaks (1932)

"A carnival barker displays a sideshow freak called the Feathered Hen and tells her story. Cleopatra, a trapeze artist with the carnival, is adored by a midget named Hans. Frieda, Hans' fiancée (also a midget), warns Hans that Cleopatra is only interested in him so that he will give her money. Cleopatra has an affair with Hercules, and when Frieda lets it slip that Hans is to come into an inheritance, Cleopatra and Hercules plan to get the money be having Cleopatra marry Hans. During the wedding reception, Cleopatra, although openly romantic with Hercules, is accepted by the freaks, but is revolted and mocks them. The freaks decide that they no longer need Hercules in their carnival and have a new career for Cleopatra all lined up, and make sure she doesn't 'chicken' out."

the original ending had hercules singing soprano on stage because the freaks castrate him. great film, based on the book spurs. the freaks are real and were all found at carnvivals and circus's. was and still is banned in some countries and was banned in certain cities and states in the u.s.

Poignant and unapologetic, a startling-albeit fictional- portrayal of circus sideshows in the early part of the 20th century.

This film is so beautiful. Each freak in this film is a beautiful creation, each with his or her own intriguing quality.
If you insult one of them, you insult all of them.
Great film!
