				"This 
				is the circus of Dr. Lao. We show you things that you don't 
				know. We've spared no pains and spared no dough, but we wanted 
				to give you one helluva show!" - 
				Dr. Lao 
				Why watch this? 
				For its time, this was a strange, wonderful film to behold. 
				Plot Summary: 
				In the dusty town of Abalone, Arizona, the arrival of a 
				mysterious circus led by the enigmatic Dr. Lao disrupts the 
				lives of its inhabitants. Through his fantastical acts and 
				mythical creatures, Dr. Lao's circus challenges the townspeople 
				to confront their flaws, desires, and personal truths. Most 
				people walk away spooked, but a little wiser. For others, the 
				lesson can be more terrifying.  Dad's Preview: 
				Tony Randall (of TV's
				
				The Odd Couple) gives an amazing performance as he portrays seven different characters in this 
				morality tale. There is nothing better than seeing people, like 
				us, hit upside the head with the truth about we really are. Still today, 
				this is a great fantasy film to watch... but don't stare into 
				the eyes of the Gorgon!
