I don't know about you, but I feel sad for Jimmy Stewart's performance as Buttons the Clown. Its a happy ending for the circus, but Button goes to jail for a crime he didn't mean to commit many years ago. He performs a good deed by helping somebody live after the train wreck. Still, Jimmy must go to jail to pay for his crimes. (In the 1950's) Sending a good message to all criminals out there who are running from the law. I wonder how this film would have ended with Button's character if it took place 40 years later in the 1990's. Maybe a more realistic and truly happy ending.
