    Meet Me at the Fair

    1953     Musical    
    USA
    1h 27min

    This tuneful, rosily nostalgic slice of Americana is greatly enhanced by Sirk's sophisticated sensibility. Set at the turn of the century, it follows a runaway orphan boy who joins up with a traveling medicine-show huckster (ebullient song-and-dance man Dan Dailey) and his sidekick, played by the legendary Scatman Crothers (in his feature-film debut). Though Sirk more than delivers on the requisite charm, he also, as usual, emphasizes the story's strong social critique: politicians are revealed to be corrupt charlatans, while it's the professional con man who displays true character.
