12. At the Circus (1939)

Photobucket

You know what I say. Whenever you got business trouble the best thing to do is to get a lawyer. Then you got more trouble, but at least you got a lawyer.

Only 3 Marx Brothers movies left... ;) "At the Circus" follows Groucho (a lawyer), Chico (a circus-hand), and Harpo (the strongman's assistant) as they try to save the riches of the circus ringmaster from the circus' owner so that he can afford to buy the circus and marry the love of his life (a singer and equestrian expert also in the circus). Usual Marx Bros mayhem ensues with highlights such as a Gorrilla sidekick, a search through the cirucs strongman's room while he is asleep, and the best song and dance number of any of their movies: "Lydia, the Tattooed Lady".
