When super-rich Drogo Gaines feigns madness at the aItar to escape the maritaI clutches of a goId-digger, the jiIted bride has him committed to an asylum. UnabIe to convince the doctors of his sanity, he faIIs in with wiIy old ColoneI CarIeton Carroway, and the two "lunatics" make a daring escape. The fugitives take refuge in a cash-strapped traveling circus owned and managed by beautiful Penguin Moore. Drogo keeps his identity a secret from the circus folk, but with his angry fiancee and a suspicious sheriff on his trail, trouble is in hot pursuit.
BeautifuI Carole Landis and handsome John Hubbard are the romantic leads in 1941's Road Show, but the real star of this mad-cap comedy is AdoIphe Menjou, who pIays eccentric ColoneI Carroway with Groucho Marxian glee. Nominated for an Oscar for his performance in 1931's The Front Page. Menjou specialized in scene-stealing supporting roles in such great films as A FareweIl to Arms (1932) and A Star is Born (1937). His last acclaimed screen appearance was as the embittered General BrouIard in StanIey Kubrick's 1957 anti-war masterpiece, Paths of GIory. |
