1956 Carol Reed film starring Burt Lancaster as a crippled circus performer (7)

I believe the answer is:

trapeze

(Other definitions for trapeze that I've seen before include "swingers' bar" , "Horizontal bar as swing for acrobats" , "Big top swing" , "Circus acrobatsO swing" , "High swing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
