The 1933 Chicago World's Fair had something for everyone. For just a dime you could be amazed by a huge cinema, carnival rides and shows or the miracle of premie babies in an incubator. None of them caused more hoopla than the mysterious Madame Mystique who seemed to dance on water scantily clad in a rainbow of silk or silently arriving on a camel. Madame Mystique is really Rosa from Sicily and her true reason for being at the fair is to exact revenge for the killing of her entire family at the hands of a now famous Facist pilot. Once the squadron reaches the fair his luck will run out. Rosa's cousin Mina has her own reason for being at the fair. Just days before her newborn baby was stolen from her and left at the premie tent and her familie's goons are after her. She seeks out Rosa who agrees to hide her at the fair and get her baby back. Family justice Sicilian style blends with the unique circus family who are just as willing to put everything on the line for one of their own. THE GODFATHER meets WATER FOR ELEPHANTS for a fantastic story covering two countries and two generations of love and sacrifice outside the family guidelines. 4 stars
