Auction History Result 7h203 AT THE CIRCUS deluxe 7.25x10 still 1939 great c/u of wacky Harpo Marx carrying Florence Rice! Date Sold 6/11/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 7 1/4" x 10" [18 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) At the Circus, the 1939 Edward Buzzell musical screwball comedy ("Keep the world laughing!") starring The Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, and Harpo Marx), Kenny Baker, Florence Rice, Eve Arden, Margaret Dumont, Nat Pendleton, and Charles Gemora (as Gibraltar the gorilla). Note that this was the movie where the Marx Brothers sing the song "Lydia the Tattooed Lady"! Also note that MGM initially was going to call this movie "A Day at the Circus" (to capitalize on the success of "A Day at the Races"), but that title was dropped (although it is on a few stills). There was a working title of "Marx Bros At the Circus" that is also on some stills, but not the 1939 posters or lobby cards. To make things confusing, when MGM re-released the movie in 1962, the advertising made it look like the title of the movie was "Marx Bros At the Circus". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the movie is called "A Day at the Circus" on the back of this still, which was the working title for this movie (which was an attempt to capitalize on their earlier great success with "A Day at the Races")! Note that this still measures 7 1/4" x 10" [18 x 25 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this still likely has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has the letters "TRR". One certainly might wonder who placed this stamp there and why. The answer is that 146 of the stills in this set of auctions come to us from a still collector who has collected for many decades, and long ago he began stamping the back of almost his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! We said earlier "likely has", because while this collector stamped most of his stills, he did not stamp every one, so you can see for yourself if this is one of the stamped ones by looking at our image of the back of the still. Each of those stamped stills are stamped lightly, and the stamp does NOT affect the front of the still. He is a VERY advanced collector, and he has consigned many wonderful stills to us!
