L to R: Vincent Price, Gilbert Roland, Rhonda Fleming, Victor Mature, Red Buttons, Kathy (Mrs. Bing) Crosby, David Nelson, and Peter Lorre, co-star in THE BIG CIRCUS (1959).

Roland appeared as both a flyer and a high-wire artist. Fay Alexander doubled his flying. Victor Mature is remembered also as Samson, for whom Pat Anthony doubled, wrestling the third of Mel Koontz's Jackie lions. David Nelson and brother Ricky, used to practice their flying at Del Graham's place in Thousand Oaks. Ernestine Clarke Baer helped coach them, and they did well at it. Peter Lorre is almost unrecognizable in whiteface.

Barbette created the Spec.

For Bonus Points: Of the 8 stars seen here, who is the only Oscar-winner? (PS: That Oscar was not for this picture.)

I have done no Googling, so I'll guess Victor Mature.
