AT THE CIRCUS (1939)

Keep the world laughing!

A classic of comic insanity, At the Circus races, along at an hilarious, logic-defying pace, reaching literally the highest point in all of the Marx Brothers' films with a scene in which the zany trio – as well as Margaret Dumont and a gorilla on the loose - wind up swinging wildly from the trapeze. When a loan shark and two circus performers set out to steal "Wilson's Wonder Circus" from its rightful owner, two circus attendants (Chico and Harpo) enlist the help of a lawyer. Their choice is Attorney Loophole (Groucho), himself on the lam from the law. The three make several crazy attempts to retrieve the cash needed to save the show – including one unforgettable episode with Groucho, trying to snatch a wallet from the bosom of a lovely circus star (Eve Arden). The film also includes wonderful songs written by "The Wizard of Oz" tunesmiths Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, including Groucho's unforgettable "Lydia, the Tattooed Lady". Offering a laugh a minute to one and all, At the Circus is "broad, ribald fun…studded with gag sequences that will catch maximum laughs" (Variety)
