At the Circus (1939)
Director: Edward Buzzell
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Definitely sub-standard Marxism as the brothers set about saving a circus from bankruptcy. Nice moments (much ado with badges, Groucho singing 'Lydia the Tattooed Lady', and the endless insulting repartee with Dumont), but the whole thing is rather tired and over-familiar.Author:
