Review of Room Service (1938) by Steve W — 10 Aug 2015
This is easily one of my favourite Marx Bros movies, probably because its a con movie. A zany acting troupe have been staying at in a hotel for six months, and management wants them to pay. The troupe just needs a financial backer, and they have to hoodwink, lie, cheat, kidnap, steal, and do anything to get that money to get into production.
Lucille Ball plays is straight as an actress, but its the four to five non-comedic roles that really make this a strong comedy. So many elements in one room, with the Marx brothers doing everything under the sun to pull off their little schemes.
Room Service is an underrated Marx Bros comedy for sure.
