At the Circus (20-Oct-1939)

Director: Edward Buzzell

Writer: Irving Brecher

Producer: Mervyn LeRoy

Keywords: Comedy, Circus

Money is missing from the Wilson Wonder Circus and the troupe will go bankrupt without it; lawyer J. Cheever Loophole is brought in to help. Groucho flirts with Margaret Dumont and introduces his famous patter "Lydia the Tattooed Lady." Lesser but still good Marx Brothers effort done under the aegis of Louis B. Mayer, who took over after the death of Irving Thalberg and didn't care for their schtick.
