1st (I think) Marx bros. movie. They were doing it on stage beforehand. We see many of the sight gags and hear their particular type of play on words humor that would become staples in their brilliant careers. Margaret Dumon plays a wealthy widow, of course. Where did they get those dresses? And the condom hats? It has a few dance numbers with a chorus line type group of ladies, which I could with less of. And what is up with all the men in these movies with that same high-pitched, tra-la-la affected singing style? But it's funny enough for such an early theatrical version of their act. 3.2 stars

Every time I watch this movie - and

Every time I watch this movie - and I've seen it a dozen times or more - it always gets me. The routines never tire. The dialogue never stales. The interweaving of folly and formalities never loses its freshness and constant surprise. As a 'film record' of what a 1920s stage musical comedy was like, it's hard to beat and is best understood on those terms: the great boon here being that we get up close to the action. Despite all the technical limitations still thwarting camera freedom at the time, the direction and editing go a long way to make us forget them.
