Description:A French movie. A wealthy man has everything he could possibly want — mansion, servants, the finest food — except love. He pines for a circus performer he once knew. Then he finds her, with a small son named Yoyo, a circus clown. When the Depression hits and the man loses his money, he goes to the circus and picks up the woman and boy. They travel around Europe as a small circus until the war. After the war, Yoyo performs and uses all his money to fix up his father's old mansion, now fallen into decay. This becomes so important to him that he misses out on love with Isolina (Claudine Auger). He throws a huge bash at the restored mansion. Isolina shows up with his parents but they don't stay. The movie ends with his old friend, a circus elephant, coming and taking him away.
My Rating:6

Review - Yoyo

Weird movie, silent for the first 20 minutes or so. I'm not really sure what the ending was supposed to mean. But every couple minutes there was a gag that was laugh-out-loud funny.
