The Marx Brothers At The Circus
John Landis was the natural choice to talk about this middling post-Thalberg Marx Bros. movie. Can you guess why? Because it has Charlie Gemora in a Gorilla Suit! Groucho introduces the now iconic, W.S. Gilbert-inspired song “Lydia the Tattooed Lady”. This is the one where the boys save a circus from bankruptcy. Kinda topical, except for the circus part.
