Yep, I’ve read it. Still have it, in fact. The movie had a little more resolution than the book, though, which sorta just ended. Like “Show’s over. Bye.” ---

good lord. I got email notification this morning that people had replied to my thread and I came in to let the mods know that the board screwed up again. I haven’t started a thread in forever. Now I see. What in the world do you newbies search on to find these old threads? Not that Mr. Ike isn’t worth bringing this to the top or anything 🙂 trisha ---

> [@](#): > > \*\* > Yep, I’ve read it. Still have it, in fact. \*\* Yike! I didn’t mean YOU, **Mjollnir.** (Anyone who could so casually toss off a reference to the benighted town of Abalone, Arizona, is obviously one of the Elect.) That was directed at those of us who frequent this forum and have never heard of C. Finney’s brilliant 1934 novel _The Circus of Dr. Lao._ Or the 1964 Tony Randall movie, _The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao._ You’re right, the book’s better, as is so often the case. But they couldn’t have filmed that conclusion! So. Was it a bear, or a Russian? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ukulele-ike/9321.md?page=1)
