"The Constant Woman" (also known as "Hell in a Circus"--even though only the last five minutes or so takes place at a circus!) begins with a minor company of actors performing. As the leading lady is doing her act, you see her son in the wings--oh so proud of her. Moments later, he's having a fist-fight with another teen...but this isn't what the film is all about however. Then, the lady announces to her husband and son after the show that she's accepting the lead in another show--in New York. After leaving them, the two decide to follow a few days later to surprise her. When they arrive at her hotel, the father finds out two nasty things: she was burned up in an accidental fire with her lover AND the boy may not really be his son...
