Review of The Cocoanuts (1929) by Jeff B — 17 Feb 2011

Funny, as usual, but really runs out of steam for the last hour or so of the film. Also, it's really clear that two directors are working on this film since the film often changes picture-quality in mid-scene.

There's some terrible editing. And, there's long musical numbers that go on without any point or even any gags going on. They're just filler. The Marx Brothers were clearly still perfecting their craft here, but poor direction also hurt them here.
