Customer Reviews of King of the Carnival
Fall and decline of the Republic serial This was the last serial to be made by Republic. For the serial fan it was no great loss. It is Dullsville incorporated with poor production values, a lacklustre but sometimes unintentionally hilarious script, dull acting to match the screenplay and other sundry deficiencies. Only positive aspect: the usual good print from Republic Home Video.
I'm king of the carnival, I'll put cotton candy all over you
the pits, once again. Much stock footage of Daredevils of the Red Circle (very highly recommended)
The Pits!
This lousy, cheaply produced serial has to be the nadir of those usually wonderfully entertaining "chapter plays" which had been a staple of Saturday afternoon movie-going for millions of kids around the world. I began watching this serial with high expectations, basically from the beautifully colored cassette box. Vibrant yellows, crimsons, greens. But oh, brother, is this ever a cheapie! What's so depressing is that I watched this right after devouring the great "King of the Texas Rangers" starring 'Slingin' Sammy Baugh and a teriffic femme sidekick, Pauline Moore. In "Carnival," you've got a cast of bored looking performers: Harry Lauter and Fran Bennett. They and the others act against the cheapest and most flimsy scenery not seen outside a Monogram Studio extravaganza. I actually looked at the credits to make certain this was a Republic Studio movie. This terrible grade Z bomb came out just when television sets had exploded all over America. This is the only reason I can give for Repulbic putting its name on this awful, trashy something called a serial. It's like watching one of the first movies ever made back in l900s. Incredible as to how amateurish and cheap looking it proves to be. A terrible experience after watching those goldie-oldie serials like "Spy Smasher...Daredevils of the Red Circle...Son of Zorro...G-Men Versus the Black Dragon...Adventures of captain Marvel...Mysterious Doctor Satan...and of course, the great King of the Texas Rangers."Shame on Republic Studios!
