description The Show Overview
The Show is a 1927 American silent drama directed by Tod Browning for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and starring John Gilbert, Renee Adoree, and Lionel Barrymore. Adapted from Charles Tenney Jackson's novel The Day of Souls, it is set in a Budapest sideshow where staged illusions, romantic jealousy, criminal schemes, and deception intersect. Its carnival setting and interest in performers living at society's margins connect it with recurring subjects in Browning's silent and early sound films.
