Freaks
1932 · TMDB 7.8
Directed by Tod Browning
A circus' beautiful trapeze artist agrees to marry the leader of side-show performers, but his deformed friends discover she is only marrying him for his inheritance.
Why it matters
Tod Browning's circus melodrama, in which the 'freaks' of the sideshow exact a terrible revenge on a trapeze artist who marries one of them for money. The final transformation is one of the most disturbing reveals in pre-Code Hollywood.
