I disagree with the other reviewer about this having poor production values. This is a *live* television play, and while it isn't an outstanding example of the genre (there are far better shows of its kind), it isn't worth just one star.
Vincent Price gives a very good performance as a completely unlikable guy, the female co-star also gives a good performance. The production values are decent if nothing special, camera-work is adequate, the pacing is good, in fact the only bad things about this episode are the iffy attempts at British accents and the rather dull commercials for Johnson's wax, but there are only a few of them. Popular television personality Dororthy Collins also appears in the filmed commercial for Lucky Strike cigarettes, and sings the Lucky Strike jingle. Perhaps there is a couple of slipped lines during the drama, but again, this is live drama. There are only a few goofs in this drama. The actors in this drama are very experienced professionals who knew what they were doing.
This is a bit of a spoiler, but the title "The Ringmaster" refers to how one of the characters loves to manipulate the other characters for his own amusement. The final scene confirms this.
