By no means there best work, and certianly there most un even. There are scenes of pure illogical insanity followed by those of mind numbing exposition.
However, This probably has the Marx brothers finest musical moments, specifically "Lydia the Tattooed Lady,"
Not one of their best, but still amusing. Groucho sings Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
Although this is (in my opinion) not the Marx Brothers' finest work, 'At the Circus' is still an extremely enjoyable watch, my favourite scene involving Chico and Harpo looking for stlen money in the circus's strong-man's room. Just skip all the songs.
These guys are normally unbeatable. And there is a few great moments in this one too. But not as great as they could've been.
The boys are on a downhill slide, but this one has some classic bits. And Groucho sings "Lydia The Tattooed Lady."

This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "The Marx Brothers at the Circus" !
