Gee! I wish I was there. I have never seen a Marx movie on the big screen. As many others I prefer their five Paramount films (1929-33) as they are slightly more hilarious than any of the later. Opera and Races are great as well, but the rest are quite lame compared to the previous ones. That's the way I see it :)
ReplyDeleteCute! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys had fun.
Jonas - Early Marx Bros. is by far the best. I completely agree.
ReplyDeleteGinger - Thanks!
It's hard to decide which one of the Marx bros pics I like best.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll go for Animal Crackers (1930). And as a bonus you get Lillian Roth! Double nice!

ReplyDeleteMonkey Business is a lovely Marx Brothers-film, especially since even Zeppo has a kind of funny part in it.
Great fun and a nice step up from all those singing and dancing numbers in The Cocoanuts. Listen closely to the dialogue or miss a zinger.
