This film is what the Marx Brothers are all about: Intelligent Stupidity.
When I first watched this film I was convinced it wasn't a match for any of the other their Paramounts, especially Monkey Business or Horse Feathers. But after the prolonged and drawn out musical numbers the Marxes get down to business.
I've always been a Chico fan and the scenes in this movie take the cake as being his best. Groucho in Horse Feathers said that Chico had the "mind of a 4 year old boy, and I bet he was glad to get rid of it" This film proves that statement true. The auction scene, Whyaduck, explaining what "a lot" is to Groucho, + two or three others = all classic Chico. If Chico is your favorite brother you'll probably like this movie over their "Magnum Opus" Duck Soup.
