Groucho, Chico & Harpo with Lucille Ball, Ann Miller and Frank Albertson in "Room service" and with Kenny Baker, Florence Rice, Eve Arden, Margaret Dumont and Nat Pendleton in "At the circus".

"The Marx Bros. try to find a backer for a Broadway play. Then they scramble to find a backer for a circus. So we put them backer to backer in this hilarious twofer. In Room Service (co-starring Lucille Ball and Ann Miler), a cash-strapped theatrical troupe reasons no none would bounce a sick man from a hotel room. And that leads to a diagnosis of crazycomedy involving feigned illness, fake suicides, a bogus physician and more Marxist doctorin'. The 3-ring circus that is Groucho, Chico and Harpo provide big-top bedlam At The Circus. Groucho and Chico work a badge skit, Chico and Harpo scour a strongman's bedroom for evidence, Groucho extols Lydia the Tattooed Lady and logic, like the orchestra at the film's antic conclusion, is cut adrift and out to sea. You can learn a lot from Lydia. And you can laugh ta lot with these two classic romps."--Container.
