1935
★ 6.2 editorial score
The stateroom scene is the most crowded two minutes in comedy: MGM insisted the Marx Brothers carry a love plot, and they demolished it from the inside anyway.
“It contains a few of the Marx brothers’ most celebrated sequences, like the brilliant stateroom scene, which piles 15 people and a steamer trunk into the smallest cabin on a transatlantic ship, and Groucho and Chico’s contract negotiation, a masterpiece of tangled legalese and ripped clauses...no less reputable a source than Groucho himself considered it and its follow-up, A Day At The Races, the best films they ever did.”
