Clip from Cecil B. Demille's The Greatest Show On Earth (MGM).

To impress fellow aerialist Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde flies through the air with the greatest of tease and lands face first in the sawdust. Hutton, screen star of the 40's and 50's, died in 2007.

@MrShadowFoot It has changed since I was active as an extra. Get with a casting agency and have pictures and a resume is the best way to start. I have some tips at myhollywoodstar which is dot com. Thanks.
