The Last Great Marx Brother Film
27 June 2005
The brothers hadn't made a film together for five years when this film was released in 1946. They had disbanded from Hollywood and regrouped down largely to financial problems, which was also the reason they returned to make Love Happy in 1949. However, this is no way near as bad as Love Happy and should rightfully stand as the last Marx Brothers picture, as they would end on a high note. The only thing that shows here is their ageing, but the gags, slapstick humour and scenarios are all present, and a lot more funnier than their last outing The Big Store, and a few others previous to this. The endings a bit slapdash, but nevertheless, sit back and enjoy!
