Die Marx Brothers auf See (1931)

Die Marx Brothers auf See: Directed by Norman Z. McLeod. With The Marx Brothers, Groucho Marx, Harpo Marx, Chico Marx. On a transatlantic crossing, The Marx Brothers get up to their usual antics and manage to annoy just about everyone on board the ship.

“It starts off fantastically, with the four brothers playing stowaways on a ship who are hiding in barrels and singing u0026quot;Sweet Adeleideu0026quot;. Harpo is fantastic as he goofs in his own unique silent way, and there is a hilarious scene involving him and a Punch And Judy show. Chico is as usual on top form as the Italian who has sent for his grandfatheru0026#39;s beard by u0026quot;hair mailu0026quot;. And Groucho gives his classic wisecracks. Zeppo has more to do in this film than he did in other films and he isnu0026#39;t too bad considering that he didnu0026#39;t want to be in the films but had to due to his contract. Two historically funny Marx Brothers scenes in this film are one where they each in turn pretend to be Maurice Chevalier, and one where Chico and Harpo are cutting a manu0026#39;s mustache (u0026quot;That sides-a-too shortu0026quot;). You must see this film; itu0026#39;s the Marx Brothers at their best. 10/10”
