Talk:The Smallest Show on Earth

POV
Removed unsupported opinion: "The Smallest Show on Earth has a reputation as a generally well-regarded British comedy and this is because of the character performances of Rutherford, Sellers and Miles as the three old eccentrics; but of the three, only Rutherford (named Mrs. Fazackalee) was genuinely old and eccentric, whereas Sellers (who was 32 at the time) and Miles were heavily made up to be old, and their eccentricities such as they are seem manufactured. Rutherford, alone, is almost worth the price of admission." Clarityfiend 04:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Problems with credit for George Cross in this film
The actor George Cross is credited as playing the role of the commissionaire at The Grand. I find it unlikely as he died in 1949 and The Smallest Show on Earth was made in 1957. However, I can find no other actor with the same name so I have deduced that a mistake has occurred, either in identifying of the actor or in the failure to list another actor called George Cross, which would be possible regarding Equity rules. Only after an actor has died, can another actor bearing the same name, legally be credited under said name. It would be nice to have the right actor credited for his part in this film for reasons of courtesy as well as accuracy. MadgeWildwood (talk) 18:41, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
