Painted Faces

Joe E. Brown gives a stunning performance as a professional clown who finds trouble away from the security of greasepaint and the circus when he serves as a juror on a murder trial. Convinced that the man accused of committing the crime is innocent, he attempts to get his doubting fellow jurors to feel the same way by relating a tragic tale from his past. Underrated melodrama co-stars Helen Foster, Richard Tucker, William B. Davidson. 74 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English. Plays All Regions.
