A Night at the Opera

Summary: The best comedy in Hollywood!
Review: The Marx Brothers have done their absolute best in this picture. I couldn't stop laughing! A couple of scenes I like is when Groucho is ordering food from the steward and he's telling him what to order, and Chico is inside Groucho's room which is a porthole: "..and two hard-boiled eggs." Harpo sounds his bicycle horn making a deep honking sound. "Make that three hard-boiled eggs." Groucho replies. A couple of scenes were boring, especially the ones with the opera singers. I also like it when the director of the opera company and the police go after the Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and an opera singer. Harpo is behind the curtain swinging around on the ropes trying to get away from the police only to make a real mess out of it. This movie will absolutely satisfy you with laughs from one of the greatest comedy teams ever!

Summary: PRIME MARX FARE.
Review: The zany brothers create havoc in fashionable opera circles. There are few of the unfunny interludes which mar the latter Marx films, although the romantic interlude between Kitty Carlisle and Allan Jones provide the obligatory streak of sentiment. Groucho dominates the first half of the film, his eyebrows undulating as he insults Dumont at front, rear and everywhere - and requesting from a waiter a glass of milk from a milk-fed chicken (!). But when Harpo comes in to view with his faun-like leers and rather eccentric appetite (for tie-and-cigar sandwiches); he swings into command at the climax in the New York Opera House. This scene is unforgettable and brilliantly paced as it shows the Brothers disrupt a gala performance of IL TRAVATORE - it even includes some scalpel-sharp digs at American "moeurs". Classic bits: Groucho sells peanuts to an affronted first-night audience...Harpo and Chico toss a baseball over the heads of the Orchestra. Their cheekiness, their desire (and ability) to stultify bourgeois decorum, and the unparalleled combination of Groucho and Chico's linguistic wit with Harpo's almost demonic miming, ensure another victory for the Brothers Marx. The last vintage Marx Bros. film, this was produced by the legendary MGM mogul Irving Thalberg who died two years after this film was made, in 1937.

Summary: Marx Brothers are king, Prices stink!
Review: These are all great Marx brothers' movies. The problem here is the prices for used. I understand the whole "what the market will bare" theory, but some of these used prices are higher than the brand new prices. Get a Grip, People! I always enter my used movies so that the price is fair and others can easily order and enjoy the product. After all it's USED (by retail definition) and it's on TAPE, not DVD. These DVDs are available at stores for $$$$$. It's nice to think about making a financial, fictional killing, but when your product sits there and then "times out", what was the point?

Summary: I was laughing the entire way through.
Review: This film is definitely the best I've seen of the Marx Brothers. Some scenes were so funny I had to pause the video so I could continue at the same place after laughing for so long. I didn't want to miss one minute of this movie. I really didn't think I'd like it all that much, but now I can't stop recalling funny scenes and laughing whenever I see it in a video store.
