Lower-key than most Marx comedies, but still fun

Still enough zaniness to make it a Marx Brother vehicle, but the craziness is diluted.

Some classic Marx bits make this a must-see.

This oft-dismissed exception in the Marx Brothers canon includes no musical numbers and only a few bits specifically tailored to the brothers...underrated.

Groucho, Chico and Harpo jump the shark.

Not a Marx Bros. movie, but a movie with the Marxes. There is a difference.
