Cosas divertidas

Trivialidades:
A scene showing Groucho Marx (as J. Cheever Loophole) in a courtroom was filmed, but cut. más
Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the little boy is "playing" his trumpet solo (and Harpo is using the bulb of his bicycle horn as a wah-wah mute), not only are the boy's fingerings incorrect, they are out of synch with the sequence of notes. Harpo's use of the "mute" is likewise out of synch. más
Quotes:
Peerless Pauline: But it's so easy. The bottom of your shoe creates a suction that holds you up in the ceiling.
J. Cheever Loophole: No, no, I'd rather not. I have an agreement with the houseflies. The flies don't practice law and I don't walk on the ceiling.

An enjoyable enough diversion, 28 November 2000
7/10
Author: Andy Aldridge (grange85) de London

OK, I accept (and suspect that there will be little argument) that At The Circus is a long way from the Marx Brothers finest hour. There isn't the pace of Duck Soup or the wonderfully constructed whole of A Night At The Opera, but within this film there is enough to make an hour and a half pass quite enjoyably.

A few fine set pieces, notably the midget/cigar routine and Harpo & Chico trying to find the money in the strongman's bedroom. A fine rendition of Lydia. And you can never really see enough of a Groucho/Dumont double act.

The story IS incidental, and the love interest occasionally irritates...but then this is a Marx Brothers films and that generally is the case.

It may not be top drawer Marx Brothers but it is still the Marx Brothers.
