The Big Show (1926)

Drama

The Big Show, the only feature-length motion picture produced by the Miller Brothers, is a behind-the-scenes melodrama set within their show. The story: Bill, a war veteran who has been defrauded by his brother, rescues Ruth, the elephant girl, and joins the company. Secretly engaged to Bill’s “bad brother” Norman—allegedly an oil millionaire—Ruth rebuffs her rescuer’s affection. Her elephant, however, knows a villain when he smells one and eventually gives Norman his just deserts. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with the National Film Preservation Foundation New Zealand Project in 2012.

Directed by: George Terwilliger

Cast: John Lowell, Evangeline Russell, F. Serrano Keating, Jane Thomas, Joseph Miller, Dan Dix, Alice Lecacheur, Madi Blatherwick
