Notes: I found it hard to believe that there are people that confuse the Marx Brothers with the 3 Stooges but there's nothing alike other than their comedy films are in black and white. The 3 Stooges are slapstick comedians that made "shorts" while the Marx Brothers use quick witted puns and two of the 4 Marx Brothers are incredible musicians. This is the 3rd Marx Brother movie ever made and Groucho was so concerned that it was going to be a flop he famous wrote his stock broker telling him this might go down in history as the worst movie ever made. Well, it wasn't and this is the movie that really made the Marx Brothers famous. This is the first movie that doesn't feature Margret Dumont as the "straight" woman to the boy's antics. I really loved this movie. You can clearly see that Bugs Bunny was fashioned after Groucho. I loved the bits with the trained frog and even Zeppo made a joke! You can see that the "extra's" in the scenes were quite amused by craziness that they often broke character and laughed in amusement in various scenes. Although this isn't my top rated Marx Brothers comedy, it's a great one that I'd highly recommend. Certainly worth watching and funnier than hundreds of comedies that I've already watched and rated to this point. Would I watch it again? Absolutely!
