Barnum
This 1986 movie that featured Burt Lancaster as the iconic, P.T. Barnum, also gave credit to the Ringling / Barnum show for resources used during the filming.
Tommy Hannerford played the Ringmaster and a lot of the acts in the film were from Royal Hannerford Circus. I remember talking to Tommy about this, he really enjoyed doing it.
