April 6, 2009Weaker Marx Brothers, but I still love that bit where Harpo keeps going to get Punch!

May 14, 2008Not as polished, obviously as the later ones, but that adds to the fun of watching it. Groucho wasn't fully developed as a persona for the screen, nor was Chico, although Harpo is fairly consistent. Still lots of fun, and I did giggle quite a bit throughout. Haha.
