Not really all that funny
6 February 2006
Not really all that funny. Maybe I am too modern too enjoy a comedy of this vintage. (But I'm not really all THAT young! I wish!) I hadn't seen any Marx Brothers stuff for decades, and I remember liking it better than this. I'll have to check out some of their other films. Most of the musical numbers seemed extraneous, even though I know it was fairly customary for them, especially Harpo and Chico. And when did Groucho grow his mustache, and stop just putting shoe polish on his face? There was a good reflection on the times, what with the speakeasy scene, and the utter un-remark-ability of it. Overall, I'd say this is best left to fans.
