Customer Reviews

Must be watched several times
A dysfunctional town is soon to be a railway way station. Only Clint Stark (Arthur O'Connell) knows this and is making the towns people even more dissatisfied with their life so he can buy them out cheaply.

Can no one come to the rescue not only for the economics but the people them selves?

A mysterious visitor appears and everyone is excited to see he has brought a circus. But is it what it appears, and is there a message?

"The whole world is a circus if you look at it the right way. Every time you pick up a handful of dust and see not the dust but a mystery, a marvel there in your hand. Every time you stop and think I'm alive and being alive is fantastic. Every time such a thing happens, you are part of the circus of Dr. Lao."

The movie has appeal on many levels. Such as Tony Randall plays many parts as Dr. Lao, Merlin, Pan, The Abominable Snowman, Medusa, a Giant Serpent, Apollonius of Tyanna, and an audience member. There is a parade of talented actors. Barbra Eden gets to sweat. Special effects are by George Pal (War of the Worlds, and The Time Machine". And the movie is based on the book "The Circus of Dr. Lao" by Charles G. Finney.

My opinion isthe same to customer chandler.
" you can't say it better my friend "
It's really a fantastic movie!
Includes fantasy,emotions,humor,Very fine
special effects (for this time,60th.)
And a brilliant performence by Tony Randall,
I think , it was his best in his career.
A word to criticals:
You say , that's a bad movie,you never
know,what a great fantasy-movie is!

DVD is NTSC , but works on the most players
in Region 2 ( Europe ) to.Try it.

" 7 Faces of DR. Lao "
is one of the best fantasy-movies !

Complete nonsense
What a terrible film, spare yourself the trouble of ever soiling your DVD with this rubbish and do something more rewarding instead, like skateboarding on a motorway or eating broken glass. The effects are so poor, the acting even worse. A twee storyline for simpletons and cretins. Complete claptrap of the worst order, steer clear. It was recommended to me by a student of mine, needless to say I planted drugs in his locker and called the police which got him expelled.
