Documentary. "The Bindlestiffs" documents a year in the travails and triumphs of The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus. Sixteen years ago, Stephanie Monseu and Keith Nelson created the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, one of the last true touring vaudeville shows in America. Their shows combine traditional circus high wire aerialists, clowns, and juggling with sideshow denizens like sword swallowers, fire eaters, and burlesque dancers. With these basic ingredients, The Bindlestiffs cook up an alchemical brew that promises to enthrall audiences. But their showbiz dream does not come easy. It takes hard work, dedication, time and more than just standard juggling. The company is precariously balanced and fighting off bankruptcy. Without a patron of any sort, and a national economy in tatters, Stephanie and Keith must find the will to make it happen. The show must go on. The path they find, and the heart and strength it takes to get there, involves gunning a motorcycle across a wire twenty feet in the air, cracking whips, eating fire, and their clown Kinko's audacious real-life bid for the presidency of the USA. Prepare yourselves for a rare peek behind the curtain into the lives of true modern circus vagabonds as they live their lives, and run their business without a net.
There were at least three dozen scenes of juggling scattered throughout
this 98 minute film. This was mostly 3 clubs, or club passing between

manipulation of 3 cigar boxes, and even some with 4 boxes. Use of
diabolo was also common as well as ball juggling and ball spinning.
Much of the juggling was done by Bindlestiff founders

He first performs with kitchen articles while dressed as a chef.
He begins with several interesting moves with two and three plates.
He does sliding moves with three plates and works up to three in one hand.
Next is a fork, plate and apple, ending with the fork balanced on his
forehead. The apple is thrown high into the air, seemingly to land on
the tines of the fork. But it crashes onto his forehead instead and
breaks apart for a surprise gag finish.
Next he juggles two prop forks and a potato, catching the vegetable
on the prongs of one fork. Then he throws the second fork so that it
sticks into the legume.
He follows with a plate, pot and potato juggle sequence, ending up
with the potato in the pot and plate on it acting as a lid or cover.
He then spins the pot on his finger, and does a finger transfer move
behind his back while bending over. Then he spins another pot so that
one is spinning on each finger. He finishes by carefully putting one
spinning pot onto the other without the spinning action being arrested
in the slightest degree.
His second juggling act is done on the slack wire, and is played for more
laughs than his first sequence. He works with a standard curved handle
cane and his soft cap. He cleverly flips the cap from his head to the
head of his cane, which is held behind him. He balances the cane on his
forehead and throws the cap up onto it. Thusly balanced on the slack wire
with the cane and hat balanced on his forehead, he juggles four rings.
His finishing trick has him balancing on one foot on the wire while his
left hand spins a ring on his cane, his right hand juggles two rings,
a ring spins on his left foot, he spins a ring on a mouth prop and keeps
another going on the wire on which he balances.

Alternate title: The Magic Legend of the Juggler. This is the classic Anatole France story translated to the new world and updated to the 1970's. An amazingly religious and inspirational story, despite the fact that Anatole France was a devout agnostic.

Based on the classic fable by Anatole France. About an itinerant juggler who can't make a go of it in any "practical" line of work. On Christmas Eve, it is customary for the clergy at Notre Dame cathedral to offer presents to the statue of the Virgin Mary. He knows no craft, can sing no song, can write no books. What can he offer the blessed Virgin? The answer is implicit in the title, but even without the element of surprise, The Juggler of Notre Dame is a captivating, heartwarming tale.

Germany. When American audiences were permitted to see German filmmaker Dupont's silent masterpiece Varieté, it was the story of a carnival concessionaire Emil Jannings, his alluring wife Lya De Putti, and the handsome acrobat, Warwick Ward, who comes between them. Feeling doubly impotent because he himself had been a famous aerialist before suffering a crippling accident, Jannings fantasizes about killing his rival, and finally does so. After serving a long prison term, Jannings is released by a compassionate warden, who feels as though the poor cuckold has suffered enough. This, again, is what Americans saw. In the original European version of Varieté, which ran nearly twice as long as the US print, Jannings deserts his wife Maly Delschaft when Lya enters the scene. Moreover, he never marries Lya, meaning that his only hold over her when Ward steals her away is an emotional one. Dupont had fashioned an ironic tale of a man suffering betrayal after having himself betrayed. The American censors wouldn't swallow that, nor would they pass the charming domestic scene wherein Jannings helps Lya disrobe, unless the prologue involving Delschaft was chopped out and De Putti was transformed from mistress to wife. Though this sort of bowdlerization might seem like an artistic outrage, the American version of Varieté is in fact superior to the original, especially in terms of pace; what seemed interminable in the German version zips along at an entertaining clip in the revised print.

United Kingdom. Documentary. This program contends that the popular perception of the Muslim occupation of Spain toward the end of the first millennium is largely wrong. The eighth century Muslim invasion of the Iberian Pennisula was largely welcomed by the locals and rejuvenated the area with advanced technology, agriculture and a construction boom. This program describes these innovations. All this changed in the eleventh century when the regional government fragmented. That set the stage for the Christian invasion and the Islamic fundamentalist resistance leading to more of a civil war than a holy war that decimated the region with corruption, destruction and exile.
At 44:48, the history of the city of Córdoba, Spain, was discussed, as it was a major Islamic center in the Middle Ages. Street scenes were shown of the current city, and included a casual 3 club juggler, shown for 4 seconds.
