Ritz off the Marx
31 July 2007
Darry Zannuck signed the Ritz Brothers when he saw them in a night club.One can only assume that he wanted them as a sort of challenge to the Marx Brothers.The trouble is that on their own the Ritz Brothers were simply not that funny.Individually and together the Marx Brothers were funny.The worst of their films is better than the best ritz brothers films.In this film i get the feeling that at times it becomes a bit like a 3 Stooges film but without the laughs.Having said that i do rather like the Ritz Brothers,and their imitations,dance and musical numbers at the end of the film at least end the film on a high.The rest of the film is rather dull and regardless of Tony Martin or Marjorie Weaver it is the Ritz brothers name above the title so they must take the blame if the film is not up to scratch.
