Review of At the Circus (1939) by Jim D — 30 Jan 2011
The least of the Marx Brothers movies that Ive seen its just not up to the zaniness of other features that Ive seen even if it does try hard @ the end w/ a run away gorilla. There is only a few really funny set ups including one w/ a midget.
You can get a lot of mileage out of a midget. All the songs are terrible including a horse & song act. Actually there's one good musical number of Groucho doing a rendition of Lydia the Tattooed Lady.
When the boys are on screen it's alright but the wrap around is of little interest as a circus owners money is stolen on a train. For Marx Brother completest really which Im one of.
