    I've always felt the Marx Brothers one big problem is that they didn't have the right stooges or fall guys, it often let their big jokes down even though they were hilarious. This is my favourite Harpo Marx film, he's definitely at his best - as were the songs!

    Excellent Marx Brothers film and they are at their near best. Hilarious, and as always, the Marx Brothers are great. The musical number is pointless however and distracts from the film. Well written.
