Sideshow (1950) Original Folded Movie Poster 27x41

Sideshow is a 1950 American crime drama directed by Jean Yarbrough. The film follows Treasury agent Steve Arthur, who goes undercover at a traveling carnival suspected of being a front for a jewel-smuggling ring. While working as a handyman among the carnival performers—including a ticket-seller named Dolly Jordan and a wax-museum operator—Steve gradually uncovers hidden gems cleverly concealed in the eyes of the wax figures. As he gets closer to exposing the criminals, tension builds in a final confrontation atop a roller coaster. Clocking in at just over an hour, Sideshow blends noirish intrigue with carnival atmosphere to deliver a compact and suspenseful mid‑century thriller.
