While I personally prefer "Duck Soup", I love both and admit this is their best film
18 January 2001
I absolutely love the Marx Brothers! This is my second-favorite, after "Duck Soup" and just ahead of "Animal Crackers". But this is admittedly the best film they made. The musical interludes mesh better (obviously, given the plot), the comedy bits are vintage Marx Brothers (including one of the most memorable scenes in movie history) and the plot actually makes sense (heresy in a Marx Brothers film)! One of the funniest movies ever! I'd make some half-crazed comments here, but they wouldn't do the boys justice. So, with a bow to the masters, I leave on the following: You should have come to the first party. I was blind for three days! Recommended with all my heart, soul and circulatory system!
