AT THE CIRCUS (1939) *** In which Harpo plays tic-tac-toe on a giraffe and rides an ostrich. Even if the Marx brothers weren't so outrageously funny these films would be well worth seeing just to witness Harpo pulling together such eclectic musical selections and playing them on modified bugles with air horns and such. There's such a sense of possibility, and they're no slouches at grand finales.
