I saw the trailer for this film before a movie I was watching, GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN. The movie was exquisite; told with surprise and insight. The trailer for SHOWMAN, by comparison, seemed to be a compendium of clichés both in dialogue and images. I really wondered what it said about the film that they couldn't even make the trailer seem fresh.
Guess I'll dust off the old Barnum DVD with Michael Crawford to get my flim-flam kicks this year.
