Desc: Frankly - A Life in the Circus: Directed by Robert Chuter. With Joan Brockenshire, Ian Buckland, Tommy Dysart, Frank Howson. This film is the story of a man who had all of his dreams come true and then stolen. It is also the story of how you live with that and get up and start again and again. The man is Frank Howson. Film director, producer, writer, composer, and many other things. His film directorial work started with the widescreen, lush erotic thriller Hunting which received international release and critical recognition. It is a dark and forbidding view of the world of modern capitalism and the breaking down of personal values. Since then he directed the biopic Flynn (based on the early life and Errol Flynn starring Guy Pearce) and this film also received international release and much media attention, especially at Cannes when it premiered in 1993. Since then his films The Final Stage and his last one Remembering Nigel have taken on a more personal and sometimes funny view of the world.
