Circus Fandango () is a 1954 Norwegian drama film directed by Arne Skouen. It was entered into the 1954 Cannes Film Festival.
Plot Fandango is the director of a traveling circus consisting of a small group of performers. However, a clear conflict exists between the director and several of the artists. One point of contention involves the elderly clown, Papa, who is forced to serve as a human target for an archer struggling with severe alcoholism.
