Maxwell Jeffrey Catto (July 29, 1907 - March 12, 1992) was
born Mark Finkell in Manchester,
England and was
an English playwright and novelist.
Catto wrote adventure novels and dramas for more than four
decades and also wrote under the pseudonym Simon Kent. Ten of his works were
adapted for film, the most notable of which was the novel The Killing Frost,
which became Carol Reed's 1956 film Trapeze. Although he was a holder of a
degree in electrical engineering from Manchester University,
Catto began writing novels and plays in the late 1930s. After a stint in the
Royal Air Force during World War II, Catto returned to writing fiction. Exotic
settings and fast-paced action were the trademarks of his novels, defying
categorization into any one genre, instead blending elements of many popular
literary styles. Much of his work has been translated into other languages.

Full Synopsis Cast & Crew Awards Related Movies
Former circus aerialist Burt Lancaster was the logical
choice to star in the Technicolor drama Trapeze. Lancaster plays a crippled acrobat, disabled
after attempting to perform a dangerous triple mid-air somersault. Tony Curtis
co-stars as an aspiring aerialist who coerces Lancaster into teaching him the tricks of the
trade. The friendship between Lancaster and Curtis is threatened by the arrival
of beautiful, ambitious circus tumbler Gina Lollobridgida (it's a toss-up as to
which of the three stars looks best in spangled tights). Surprisingly, Lancaster's former circus
partner Nick Cravat is nowhere to be found in the film; we are, however,
treated to the harmonica virtuosity of Johnny Puleo. Trapeze is highlighted by
its truly breathtaking stunt sequences, performed by the cream of the European
big-top circuit. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
