one of the funniest films ever made, 2 June 1999
Author: adam suraf ([email protected]) from dunkirk, NY

Perhaps the Marx brothers funniest film and certainly one of the most comedic movies ever made. Groucho's one liners are probably the best comic lines on film, and Harpo's silent antics are a delight, while Chico is up to his same old tricks. The three work brilliantly while director Sam Wood and the writers work in some good musical acts and classic comedy bits. The hotel room bit and Groucho's crowded cabin room bit are highlights in a movie where every piece is as good as the next.
