Inhalt: |
Arts Patron Mrs. Claypool (Margaret Dumont) intends to pay pompous opera star Lassparri $1,000 per performance. Hey, maybe that's why they caIl it grand opera!
This is grand comedy, too, as Groucho, Chico and Harpo cram a ship's stateroom and more with wall-to-wall gags, one-liners, musical riffs and two hard-boiIed eggs - aIl whiIe skewering Lassparri's schemes and heIping two young hopefuls (Kitty CarIisle and AIIan Jones) get a break. To save the opera, our heroes must first destroy it. They must also gain ocean passage as stowaways, pull the wool (if not the beards) over the eyes of city hall, shred Iegal mumbo-jumbo down to a sanity cIause, pester dowager CIaypooI and unIeash so much glee that many say this is the best Marx Brothers movie. Seeing is believing.
