Juggling in Movies

Carousel (1956)

[Gordon MacRae, Shirley Jones, Cameron Mitchell, Barbara Ruick]

Billy is sent down "from above" for one day to try and make amends for mistakes he made in life. Billy worked at the carnival running the carousel, which is where he met Julie. The carny owner Mrs. Mullen fires him because of jealousy, and he and Julie get married. Billy gets into bad habits when he can't find a job and they are forced to live a meager existence on Julie's factory pay. When Julie tells him she's pregnant, he feels compelled to somehow find a way to support his family, but the only option seems to be falling back into crime with his old pal Jigger.

At 07:30, Harry Johnson juggles 3 clubs on a small stage at a carnival, on and off camera for over 2 minutes.
