The bros Marx make their absurdity seem effortless. Plot always dissolves once they’re on screen, but that’s the point. Many hilarious bits.

First Marx brothers film for me. This is acclaimed? Over done annoying “witty” humor. Horrible supporting cast acting. Etc. etc.

Surprisingly gets some laughs out of sheer absurdity and word play. Probably the best Marx Brothers movie.
