Trivia:

The Marx Brothers put up their own money to produce the movie and, as they did with A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races, did a tour in which some of the comedy scenes were performed live to be "tested" for laughs. more

Goofs:

Continuity: In the police station near the beginning of the film where the murder of the manager has been reported, there is a fan spinning above the officers' heads. Yet when the Marx brothers and Annette sneak in after escaping from the prison cells, the fan has disappeared. more

Good farce!, 8 March 2006
7/10
Author: from United States

The Marx Brothers came out of retirement to make this film in order to help the financially-strapped Chico, who was forever broke due to his gambling addiction.

The movie begins slowly, and there are some rather unfunny scenes featuring Harpo, but when Chico and Groucho arrive on the scene the film really picks up. There are some truly great scenes in this film. My favorite is Harpo desperately trying to convey important information to Chico via whistles and inspired charade.

The plot is rather silly, but who cares? While not on a par with their classics "Duck Soup" and "A Night at the Opera", this movie is very much worth seeing.
