Circus of Horrors
German actor Anton Diffring, who specialized in playing Nazis and sinister aristocrats, is the psychotic plastic surgeon who takes over a French circus and populates it with disfigured criminals whose faces he reconstructs. Director Sidney Hayers topped this a year later with “Burn Witch Burn”. The theme song “Look for a Star” became an unexpected pop hit in the Summer of 1960.
