A vintage cocktail of pretty music, period costumes, and fizzy comedy, "The Circus Princess" is ideal for the anachronist in search of light entertainment. The featherweight plot, about a royal girl who falls for a disguised tightrope walker, serves as a framework for the giddy songs of Emmerich Kálmán, a seldom-revived 1920s theatrical composer. Be warned: at three hours long, it's for the die-hard time traveler only.
