Review of A Night at the Opera (1935) by Jeremy C — 18 Mar 2008
Meh.
Not that great. I didn't hate it, but the laughs didn't come very fast nor furious. One cannot even really say, "It was okay for the time it was made", because Bringing Up Baby was made during this same era and was HILARIOUS by modern standards.
Honestly, I think the big problem was that the plot wasn't that good. Like a lot of comedies, it was events strung together to highlight a series of gags and musical numbers. Yeah, those Marx Brothers were talented musicians, but for me it didn't fly.
Suzi seemed to hate it.
2 bearded Russian pilots out of 5.
