What's left behind the scenes
- "The Greatest Show on Earth" was the first film seen by director and producer Steven Spielberg, and he cites it as one of the main inspirations that led him to work in the film industry.
- Lucille Ball was supposed to play the role of Angel, but she left the project when she found out she was pregnant with her first child.
- The music for the song Lovely Luawana Lady was written by John Ringling North, who appeared as Brad's boss during a phone call. North was the nephew of the founders of the Ringling Brothers circus.
- The film is included in the book “The Official Razzie Guide: Watching the Best of the Worst Hollywood Films.” The general attitude towards the film is expressed by the opinion that it was a mistake on the part of the Academy to give it the Oscar for Best Picture of the Year.
- There were opinions that “The Greatest Show on Earth” became the best film of the year due to the political situation in the United States in 1952. Cecil B. DeMille was one of the supporters of Senator Joseph McCarthy, who was persecuting communists at the time, while Carl Foreman, who was soon blacklisted in Hollywood, was the producer and screenwriter of “High Noon,” which was also nominated in the Best Picture category.
