This late MGM entry to the Marx Brothers opus is one of their minor works but still in parts reflects their vintage lunacy.
The conflict of comedic styles results in a discordant experience at best, but the bits that are pure Marx Bros. are gold.
This movie starts out hilarious, but then it looses steam. The Marx Brothers do a lot of their normal gags, but then they start to do some other ridiculous jokes that are beneath them. Still, this movie is worth watching if you're a big fan of the Marx Brothers, if not don't see it.
