Synopsis by Hal Erickson

The popularity of Argentine singing stars Libertad Lamarque and Hugo del Carril is the sole raison d'etre for La Cabalgata del Circo. The title translates as The Circus Parade, and accordingly the story concerns a travelling circus, touring the Argentine Pampas. The story is the usual "backstage" concoction, with Lamarque standing by her handsome but unreliable boyfriend Del Carril. When the film was released in the U.S. in 1945, critics commented that supporting actress Evita Duarte "does not reveal much screen talent." Duarte would eventually find success in another field of endeavor when she married Argentine president Juan Peron.
