A season of comedy films with the great laughter-makers
This week: The Marx Brothers (Groucho, Chico, and Harpo) "At the Circus"
with Kenny Baker, Florence Rice, Margaret Dumont, Eve Arden

Groucho is brought in to save the fortunes of an ailing circus and solves the problem by presenting a surprise performance at a society gathering.
This was one of the most popular of the Marx Brothers films and featured, as did the majority of their films, that grande dame of the Marxist world Margaret Dumont, who suffered continuous humiliations at the hands of Groucho (here playing J. Cheever Loophole, the Legal Eagle) yet still managed to retain her regal calm and dignity.

1848-1918: A View of an Age by Edward Crankshaw
In the course of 600 years one family, the Habsburgs, came to dominate the huge area of central and south-eastern Europe which included what we know today as Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and large parts of Yugoslavia, Poland, Rumania, and northern Italy. Fifty years ago their Empire fell.

Tonight's film tells the story of the man who strove so desperately to hold his inheritance together, the Emperor Franz Joseph. He came to the throne in 1848 at the age of eighteen, and for sixty-eight years suffered an unending series of public disasters and personal tragedies, including the suicide of his son and the assassination of his wife. On his shoulders rested the vast complex of an Empire approaching its end. But behind the glitter of a decadent Vienna an amazing burst of creative energy took place. Doctors, musicians - great men from all corners of the Empire converged on the capital, Vienna. In the midst of all this activity Franz Joseph tried in vain to hold at bay the forces of nationalism which eventually brought about the destruction of the old Europe.
