Review of A Night at the Opera (1935) by Lucas Q — 08 May 2008
The Marx Brothers were comedic geniuses. Each film was so zany that they could make anything funny. This is the pinnacle of their films for its great pacing which few of their other works have. There never seems to be a dull moment provided you can get past the decent singing of Allan Jones and Kitty Carlisle.
The many highlights of this comedy include the bedroom sequence and in which the brothers manage to squeeze a larger group of people into a small cruise ship room that Groucho?s character gets stuck in.
There is one other Marx Brother film or two that could crack my list in the near future, but I will have to see them at least one more time to be sure. Horse Feathers and Monkey Business are the two that could in the near future.
