No - that's not my opinion of the movie -- but a possible alternative title. Cecil B's classic a couple of years earlier caused a resurgence of movies with Circus/Carnival themes. To me this movie comes across almost as a knock-off. They even cast Lyle Bettger. It's as if GSOE had been rewritten as a Harlequin paperback.
Personally - - if I want a more or less serious circus movie - I'll watch the classic. - if I want a light formula romance with a circus theme - I'll skip ahead a few years and catch Roustabout.
Still - as mentioned by others - anything with Anne Baxter is definitely worth a box of popcorn and a couple of hours out of your life.
