A NIGHT AT THE OPERA (1935) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

Duck Soup (1933) has literally just gone up on Patreon tonight, so if you need more Marx Brothers or me in your life head over there to get one-week early access or see the full, un-editied reaction: www.patreon.com/DawnMarieAnderson 🥰

Dawn laughing uncontrollably and in tears just proves how timeless the Brothers are ❤

Making people laugh almost a century later. Brilliant!

I'll put a word in for "Horse Feathers". The boys go to college to play college football and Groucho is college president. It's wall to wall parody, gags and spoofs. It also includes a fourth Marx brother, Zeppo, who plays a straight character. A brilliant comedy.

The Marx Brothers were pure comedic anarchy. They were famous on the Vaudeville circuit where they would leave the stages and theaters in shambles after they were done with a show. A perfect mix of both physical and verbal slapstick. The crazy wordplay, especially by Groucho, and the wild physicality is brilliant. The're just relentless and hilarious!

Great job! I wish more reactors would give them a chance.

I’ve loved the Marx Bros since I first saw Animal Crackers back in 1989. I’ve never seen another RU-vid reaction video to them, so you officially now hold a special place in my heart

The Marx Brothers were comedic geniuses, and A Night at the Opera is my favorite of their films. Duck Soup and A Day at the Races are also brilliant. In some of their earlier films, their other brother, Zeppo, also appeared. He always played the handsome straight man. I am so glad you enjoyed this and want to watch more of their antics.

I hope A Day at the Races in on your list too❤️ Harpo playing the harp always makes me a little emotional, he's so great at being funny and silly but there's this seriousness that comes out when he plays, like he's doing the thing he loves the most, you can feel the love in his playing. Was great to see how much you enjoyed this 🙂

“Margaret Dumont's screen persona was that of a stolid, wealthy society matron, which is exactly what she was: her husband, John Moller, was a millionaire industrialist, and she often commuted to filming locations from her mansions in Palm Springs, California, and Paris, France. Dumont on first joining the Marx Brothers act: "After three weeks as a leading lady, Groucho had pushed me out of windows, pulled chairs out from under me, broiled steaks in the fireplace of my apartment, put frogs in my bathtub and made my life miserable, on the stage and off." In most of her interviews and press profiles, Dumont preserved the myth of her on-screen character: the wealthy, regal woman who never quite understood the jokes. However, in a 1942 interview with the World Wide Features press syndicate, Dumont said, "Scriptwriters build up to a laugh but they don't allow any pause for it. That's where I come in. I ad lib-it doesn't matter what I say-just to kill a few seconds so you can enjoy the gag. I have to sense when the big laughs will come and fill in, or the audience will drown out the next gag with its own laughter." "I'm not a stooge, I'm a straight lady. There's an art to playing straight. You must build up your man, but never top him, never steal the laughs from him." (IMDb/Wikipedia) Happy Birthday, Margaret Dumont!”

There were actually 5 Marx brothers. Gummo was part of the act when they were in Vaudeville, but he left to fight in WW1 (the war ended before he was deployed). He did not rejoin his brothers and was replaced by the youngest brother, Zeppo who would play the straight man and romantic lead. This was the first film that he did not appear in.

I grew up watching Marx Bros movies and their humor never ages. Pure gold from start to finish. Also, kudos to Dumont, who plays Mrs Claypool in this one. She’s the ever present straight woman and butt of Groucho’s gags, but was loved by all and had her own immaculate timing.

Groucho's mustache and eyebrows were actually greasepaint. Each brothers were accomplished musicians. Especially Harpo (harp) and Chico (piano) and would play those instruments in each movie.

“Animal Crackers” and “Duck Soup” please! I‘ve been waiting since last week for you to drop this. Your reaction was worth the wait. After you enjoy some Marx Bros. we’ll get you introduced to W. C. Fields films from the same era.

For my 40th I received a full set of every Marx Brothers' movies - and I love every one - I'd say this and A Day At The Races are my favourites. Queen named two of their albums after them. :)

The rock group "Queen"named two of their albums after Marx Brothers movies. "night at the Opera" and "Day at the races"

87 years old and still makes you laugh. That's talent.

This film and Duck Soup have been my all-time favorites since I was 10 years old. This movie was also the reason why I went to see Il Trovatore (without battleships, Take Me Out to the Ballgame, or other mishaps) at the Metropolitan Opera. I am now a fully-certified opera nerd. One love has lead to another.

I’ve loved the Marx Bros since I was a kid in the 70’s. Glad you enjoyed them! This one of their best movies, Day at the Races is another good one.

Wow. This is an unexpected, and also daring, reaction. Don't think I've ever seen anyone react to the Marx Brothers before. Personally, I think they are absolutely brilliant. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Edit: And clearly you did.👍

Kitty Carlisle was a very good singer and a patron of the opera (and the arts in general). She later married the well-known playwrite, Moss Hart (who often co-wrote with another famous playwrite, George S. Kaufman). She was very famous to American audiences in the '50s and '60s as a panelist on popular TV game shows, like To Tell The Truth, What's My Line and I've Got A Secret, among others.

Just a couple comments. The pretty lady playing Rosa was Kitty Carlisle, who years later was a mainstay on 50s tv game shows, esp. To Tell the Truth. She was a passionate crusader for support of the Arts, becoming an elegant Society lady, and received several national arts recognitions as well as a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The scene of chaos in their small ship room is considered one of the classics of early Hollywood comedies. So, sooo, funny !!!

My favorite line "I saw Mrs. Claypool first... well, her mother saw her first, but there's no point in bringing the Civil War into this"! Making fun of someone being around during the Civil War era would have been a great joke in the 1930s. lol

My dad introduced me to the the Marx Brothers long ago...he gloried in telling tells of heading to Minneapolis to see them live. My mother, of course, thought they were a bit on the crude side. It was so much fun to see your reactions. Their comedy is timeless, like all great comedieans.

"Monkey Business" is another great one, and it's the only of their movies where Zeppo has a major part.

Your constant giggling at these guys just melted my heart!

The rock band “Queen”, were big Marks Brothers, fans. Two Queen albums are named after Marx brothers movies. A Day at the Races and A Night at the Opera.

Once you finish the movies it's worth it to watch Groucho Marx's game show from the 50s "You Bet Your Life". On live TV his wit is just as sharp. Probably want to do a "best of". It's hit or miss depending on the guests.

After having watched this film so many times, the next best thing is watching it through the eyes of someone who hasn't seen it but really gets how good they were. They were truly unique.

I always liked the Marx brothers, Groucho, Zeppo, Harpo, Chico and Karl.

I'm a big fan of their "Monkey Business". A lot of shipboard shenanigans in that film, too. And Zeppo gets to play the romantic lead.

I love the scene when all these people keep coming into their "room" uh closet (LOL) until it's jammed full of people and the another person opens the door and they ALL spill out into the hallway....that is SO FUNNY!! I was looking forward to you showing it here, but you CUt it!! Aaaaaarrrgghhhh!! LOL! This is my favorite Marx Brothers movie followed my Duck Soup, and A Day at the Races. I LOVE Chico's piano playing and Harpo playing the harp. They are such accomplished musicians. Harpo doesn't speak at all, he has a horn on his belt which he squeezes sometime. I have been watching Marx Brothers movies since I was a child in the '50s, their movies were shown on TV on Saturday afternoons back then. SO nice to see a young woman reacting and laughing so heartedly to them. I only saw one other reactor who watched one of their movies, and he just DIDN'T "get" their humor AT ALL! He didn't laugh at ANYTHING. No matter how many times I have watched their movies over the years, they STILL make me laugh. (by the way, GROUCHO'S moustache and eyebrows are PAINTED on, it almost looks like black shoe polish. If you look closely you can see that, and that they are not theatrical hair moustaches or eyebrows.) FABULOUS REACTION Dawn!!

"There ain't no sanity clause" 😂

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx Groucho's moustache was painted on. It was an indelible part of his screen and stage persona. Later in life, when he'd given up acting, he grew a real moustache. You cut the iconic end of the stateroom scene, when one last person opens the door and everyone comes tumbling out. There was a rumor (encouraged by Groucho) that Margaret Dumont didn't understand all the jokes that were done at her character's expense. I don't believe it. She was an excellent straight woman. Playing the straight character to a comedian is harder than it looks. I'm glad you enjoyed this, and I'm looking forward to your reaction to Duck Soup.

The Marx Brothers were an American classic. These brothers were in the business early on and were huge. Still are!!!! Many one-liners & a super fast delivery. Masters of slap-stick.. You have to pay attention or you miss out. Funny!!!!!!!!!!!

Meant to add to my original comment, the actress who played the rich Mrs. Claypool - Margaret Dumont - was the regular butt of Groucho's jokes in many of their best movies. In real life she was a wonderfully warm and loving person, and all the Marx brothers adored her. She bore the brunt of Groucho's barbs such grace and self-deprecation off set. Also, the megaband Queen were such fans of the Marx Brothers that they named two of their most successful albums, "A Night at the Opera" and "A Day at the Races".

I am so glad knowing that you actually enjoy the old classic movies of the golden age of Hollywood, and it’s so sad that a lot of movies today just don’t cut it anymore. It’s unfortunate that things don’t always change for the better but for the worse.

Highly recommend Harold Lloyd's Safety Last, it's a silent film, very funny. The whole film is s buildup to the most amazing stunt sequence ever filmed,, no CGI, no special effects, no green screen, all the stunts at height with no Safety wires, and only a painter's platform, with a tiny mattress, 16 ft below him, and if he fell he would have been killed.

“As Arthur (born Adolph) Marx never spoke in his films, I figured I'd just post some quotes by him... "I am the most fortunate self-taught harpist and non-speaking actor who has ever lived." "The man who first inspired me was a guy called Gookie. Gookie had nothing to do with the theater. He rolled cigars in the window of a cigar store on Lexington Avenue. When he got going good he was completely lost in work, so absorbed that he had no idea what a comic face he was making. His tongue lolled out in a fat roll, his cheeks puffed out and his eyes popped out and crossed themselves. Over the years, in every comedy act or movie I ever worked in, I've thrown in a Gookie at least once." Talking about working in vaudeville: "If an audience didn't like us, we had no trouble finding it out. We were pelted with sticks, bricks, spitballs, cigar butts, peach pits and chewed-out stalks of sugar cane. We took all this without flinching - until (the Marx Brothers' mother and manager) Minnie gave us the high-sign that we'd collected our share of the receipts. Then we started throwing stuff back at the audience and run like hell for the railroad station the second the curtain came down." "Cheap hotels in the South and Southwest were apparently set up as bug sanctuaries by some Audubon Society for Insects. Fleas, ticks, bedbugs, cockroaches, beetles, scorpions and ants, having no enemies, attacked with fearless abandon. They had the run of the house and they knew it. After a while you just let them bite. Fighting back was useless. For every bug you squashed, a whole fresh, bloodthirsty platoon would march out of the woodwork. In one hotel hotel the ants were so bad that each bed was set on four pots of oxalic acid." "When you lose something irreplaceable, you don't mourn for the thing you lost. You mourn for yourself." "If things get too much for you and you feel the whole world's against you, go stand on your head. If you can think of anything crazier to do, do it." (IMDb) Happy Birthday, Harpo Marx!”

Groucho's glasses and mustache were made famous in gag glasses featuring that. Glad you fell in love with the Marx Brothers

There aint no Sanity Clause....probably the funniest line I ever heard....and the looks to camera from Groucho....pure class.

I had so much fun not only watching clips of this movie but even more fun was watching your reaction!

When the Marx Brothers were in vaudeville, Groucho would use a false mustache in their routines. He would often go out between shows. One day, he was late getting back to the theater, and didn't have time to put on the regular mustache, so he grabbed some black shoe polish. That worked so well that it retained it for the rest of his career, though in later life he grew a real one. The Marx Brothers were Jewish. Harpo (real name Adolph, later Arthur) was supposed to play Irish characters in their vaudeville acts, but he could never get rid of his thick Jewish accent, so they made the character silent, and physical comedy became his trademark. Kitty Carlisle (Rosa) and Allan Jones (Ricardo) were both trained opera singers, but made their careers in movies and television. Ms. Carlisle became a fixture on every iteration of the game show 'To Tell the Truth' from the 1950s to the 1970s. A theater at the Performing Center of the Arts in Albany, NY (commonly known as The Egg) is named for her. When the brothers were growing up, the family only had enough money for one of them to take piano lessons. (This was a time when a loaf of bread cost five cents, and piano lessons were 25 cents an hour.) Leonard/Chico, being the oldest, was chosen to get the lessons, but Harpo paid attention and learned as well. He later taught himself to play the harp, hence his nickname. (No matter how much he clowns around, once he sits down to play, he's all business.) Chico developed his own style of playing the piano, including the 'pistol shot' technique demonstrated at 13:35. The Brothers' first movie was 'The Coconuts'. Like their second film, 'Animal Crackers', it was based on a play they were doing on Broadway.

The Marx Brothers were brilliant, this movie’s still hilarious to this day

I'm so happy you found this movie. No one else bothers watching these fabulous old movies and they are classics for a reason - because they are so good. There are so many Marx Brother movies worth watching and they will put another huge smile on your face.

You have the cutest laugh. It's easy to laugh with you. I've been a fan of the Marx Brothers for about 5 decades and I'm very glad you enjoyed them.

The Marx Brothers started on stage. Their first two films, The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers, began as plays and were eventually filmed; for later films they wrote scenes they could rehearse in front of an audience to see what worked (and to ad-lib the hell out of every line). So they were chaos, but organized chaos. Somehow.

You know those novelty glasses with the big nose and mustache attached to them? They’re all based on Groucho Marx’s face.

Proof that the algorithms aren’t all bad; I watch Millennial Movie Mondays and I have grown up loving the Marx Bros. And it recommended you! I feel like every time I’m recommended a new “watching a movie for the first time” channel, it’s always people watching the exact same five movies. You are a delightful new find! ❤

Groucho Marx painted his mustache. It started when they were a stage act. One day he was running late and didn't have time to put his mustache on. So he grabbed some black shoe polish or something. It looked funny so he kept it. :)

That's great reacting Dawn! You'll have to get a Groucho pair of glasses with the nose, eyebrows and mustache. Unfortunately as they moved into the 1940s they were forced by circumstances to do a lot of inferior films. Chico was an addicted gambler and needed quick money. They lost their best writers. But there are still some classic gags and especially Groucho songs, like "Lydia, the tattooed lady".

Elton John got to know Groucho in the early 70's and during one visit, Groucho had him laughing so hard, he blurted out, "Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player." That subsequently became the name of Elton's next album.

the scene with Harpo playing the harp....one of the greatest scenes in all of hollywood. he absolutely cast a spell on the extras, no acting, just plain emotional response to a musical performance. and 89 years later, Harpo captivated you too. btw, Chico is pronounced chick - o, not like the spanish chee - ko.

I'm about to binge all of these reactions. I binged the films about 10 years ago and Groucho is my comedy hero - I love him so much! They're all adorable and super talented - not to mention hilarious 😄 Thanks for these videos Dawn!

I remember watching this when I was young and I laughed so hard at the scene where the stage background continues to change up and down simultaneously as the actor was singing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

While still performing on the stage Groucho wore a fake moustash and one night he was late to the theater and he didn't have time to apply the spirit gum and moustash so he dipped his finger in some grease paint and rubbed it on his upper lip. Every one liked it so that became his signature. 👋

Groucho hosted his own game show in the 1950s - 'You Bet Your Life'. One of the funniest bits was when Pedro Gonzalez-Gonzalez played. Pedro went on to appear in many Westerns. RU-vid has his episode. Funny stuff. Groucho was 2nd fiddle this time.

It's good that you know what Groucho sounds like now, because when you get to Young Frankenstein you will be able to recognize when someone does an impression of him. Kitty Carlisle was a panelist on the TV show To Tell The Truth for years.

There were 4 brothers who went into the movie business, but zoo, who didn’t have any outstanding characteristics left the group after a few films, leaving the trio. They were actual brothers from New York, and lived down the block from Houdini. This may be their best movie, but a Day at the Races is a cle second

The Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Charlie Chaplin, and Buster Keaton were the original funny men of comedy, from the first silent films well into the talkies. Sadly we'll never see another era like that again. It's great to see someone explore historical comedy and enjoy it, which proves how timeless it is. There's a fourth brother that played in a couple of the films, his name was Zeppo, he'd usually play the straight guy, which balanced well with his brother's comedy routines. Harpoon never spoke in the movies, but he did in regular life. As far as the grease paint mustache on Groucho, there's an interesting story about that. Harpoon and Chico really were talented musicians and were amazing to watch. I'm glad you got to experience them. I like and subscribed, I love your voice, can't wait to check out more of your reaction videos. Oh, and anybody that says there ain't no Sanity Clause is crazy. 😆 🤣 😆 🤣 Take care and stay safe ❤️ 🙏.

Want to give a hat tip to the late great Margaret Dumont, who was great as the lady who delivers straight lines like a pro. She's in a bunch of Marx Brothers movies. In interviews, she admitted she wanted to laugh, but couldn't, since that would break character. She's now famous for keeping a straight face in the face of silliness.

The Marx Brothers were commedic geniuses. If you ever want to hear the story of their work read the Autobiography Harop Speaks. He tells of how his brothers grew up raised by their mother, started in Vaudville, and graduated to the silver screen. They were a riot, and always on too. They had to be locked in their dressing rooms between takes just so they wouldn't wander off and get into all sorts of mischief. And on stage they were just as hilarious. The film crew often were cracking up over their jokes making it hard to work. The director had to seal himself in a sound-proof booth between takes just so he wouldn't be in hysterics during the shoot. But the Marx Brothers were also quite generous and helpful. During the time of The Great Depression their films were some of the few that could still turn a proifit. And they insisted on some large musical numbers like the one seen here just so that every extra on screen could get an easy paycheck.

The duplicates (5 kids up in Canada) gag (at 7:00) refers to the Dionne quintuplets born in 1934. It was huge news at the time and considered a medical marvel.

I LOVE the Marx Brothers.........and your reaction to seeing their lunacy for the first time was simply brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed your enjoyment, and seeing you discover the Marx Brothers was marvellous! You really do have to watch Duck Soup, A Day at the Races, and Horse Feathers, to name but a few, you'll love them!............Groucho Marx has to be the funniest man I've ever seen in movies........

After watching you watch this, it makes me somewhat envious threat you are watching these for the first time. I remember watching so many good movies for the first time and how I felt. Don't feel like you have missed out on anything. You're watching them now and each one is a new discovery for you, and that's the best. If you ever get a chance, if your local theater plays old movies, go see them there. Having them all at your finger tips at home is convenient, but seeing them in the theater on the big screen is the way to see them. Also, it's always great when Chico and Harpo play. Harpo's harp music is definitely emotional. Love your channel, cheers!

Dawn Marie you get the gold medal ... you've awakened a monster! I haven't seen the Marx brothers in 40 years ... Super Thanks!

Horse Feathers and Duck Soup are well worth reviewing! Thank you for reviewing some Marx Bros! Night at the Opera, the new studio tried to impose more of a plot. The earlier ones are pure, glorious anarchy! Love this one as well.

"Do you have everything Julius?" "I haven't had any complaints yet!"

One of your best reactions ever - and that's saying a lot!!!!!! My favorite Marx Brothers movie is their next one, "A Day At The Races", but I love this one, I love Duck Soup. What a special experience it was to watch you discover these guys! And when you were getting emotional watching Harpo play, I always get emotional when I see Chico or Harpo play. I love the way Chico plays piano.

Loved this movie as a kid. No idea if it holds up but I like groucho Marx so I expect it should. About to watch your reaction now. Edit:okay I finished your reaction and I can honestly say not only does the movie hold up, it's better than I remembered and you made it even better than that. So happy you're happy.

Groucho never met an insult he didn't like...Dean Martin once said "His mouth has a black belt in cruelty"

I loved your giggling reaction. The Marx Brothers' humor is first and foremost anarchistic in the best sense: they simply have no respect at all for so-called authorities. Coupled with witty dialogue and brilliant slapstick, this humor will probably still work perfectly in 100 years or more.

I really enjoy watching your videos Dawn! You have such a lovely and genuine personality . Watching these Marx Brother reactions has been an absolute treat! I remember I was only 5 at the time when I watched my first Marx Brother movie. I just got home from the hospital after having an operation and I couldn't eat her sleep, so dad put on a recorded VHS tape of Marx Brothers, 'Monkey Business' and it made my day a lot better!

Groucho wears glasses, has the big, black mustache, and spouts wisecracks and insults. Chico wears the peasant cap, plays piano, and speaks with an Italian accent. And Harpo has curly blond hair, doesn't speak, and plays the harp. In some of their movies, the 4th brother Zeppo appears as the straight man.

Your laugh is contagious. I’ve seen this movie a bunch of times and I haven’t giggled through it this much since the first time. 😂 (Subscribed! Can’t wait to go through your previous vids. 💚)

Before Monty Python. There was The Marx Brothers. Groucho, The wise cracker. Was late for a show. He had no time for makeup. So he put on black grease for eyebrows and a mustache. Which became his trademark. Chico..... They called him Chicko ( He was a ladies man ). An Italian accented brother of a Jewish family. A lot of deadpan humor and was a excellent Piano player. Harpo, The silent brother. Slapstick was his specialty. He could speak. His constant shenanigans and absurdities. Made him one of the favorites of the brothers. Also a excellent and World renowned Harpest. Zeppo, A brother known for for the early day of their Motion picture days. He played the love interest and sing. The Marx Brothers started the movies with Paramount. Then Went to MGM. Zeppo did not follow the group to MGM. Mostly because he wanted to have a funny part. He was usually the Strait man. Glad to have you as a fellow Marxist !. Cheers.

AHHHH I LOVE THE MARX BROTHERS. This and Duck Soup are their best movies. FYI and I am sure someone else pointed this out but Groucho had a grease paint mustache. Started to do it in Vaudeville and it just stuck.

I never thought anyone would review and enjoy these old movie classics, thanks :)

The 'sanity clause' joke and the entire 'hard-boiled eggs'/crowded cabin scene are my favourite parts of this movie! 😂😂

Definitely suggest "the Coacaonuts", which is the first movie that the Marx Brothers did. Also suggest "Monkey Business", another one where they stow away. One of the funniest things I read was that for this movie: Producer Irving Thalberg would often call people in for meetings, and then keep them waiting in his office for hours while he attended other meetings on the MGM lot. One day, during pre-production for this picture, Thalberg kept The Marx Brothers waiting for several hours in his secretary's office while he was in his own office making phone calls. When Thalberg's secretary went home for the day, the brothers decided they'd had enough. They pushed the office file cabinets against Thalberg's door, trapping the producer in his office. Afterwards, Thalberg kept his appointments with the Marx Brothers, but would often interrupt his meetings with them and step out to attend other meetings--again keeping the brothers waiting for hours. One day Thalberg came back from another meeting to find Groucho Marx, Chico Marx and Harpo Marx sitting in his office completely naked, and roasting potatoes on sticks in his office fireplace. Thalberg sat down with them, had a potato and never missed or interrupted another meeting with the Marx Brothers. The beds shifting apartments scene is hilarious.

Glad you saw my favorite, Duck Soup. You can't go wrong with Monkey Business, Horsefeathers or Animal Crackers either. Beware. Some jokes are dated. You can hear them explained on dvd commentaries though.

One thing Irving Thalberg did was "road test" the films--preview them before actual audiences before official release to see what worked, and what didn't.

Horsefeathers!! I had a poster of these guys on my wall growing up...there were 4 of them on my poster. Harpo, Groucho,Chico, and Zeppo. They were really talented musicians. Horsefeathers was one I'll always remember... but Animal Crackers was good too.

7:02 Duplicates, "those five kids up in Canada" referred to the then well-known Dionne quintuplets. On another note (B flat above middle C), Kitty Carlisle is best known to audiences of later decades as a regular on the panel-gameshow _To Tell the Truth,_ mainly from the late 1950s to the 1970s.

When I was a kid, every New Years Day there was a Marx Bros movie marathon on TV that I used to watch every year

Duck Soup and Monkey Business are two of the best movies ever made.

Harpo played the... (Harp)) and Chico played the piano, in real life, that was them really playing their instruments. All of them were really talented guys.

Groucho used a glue on moustache but one day he was running late so he used greasepaint which he preferred and the greasepaint moustache became his trademark.

There was also Zeppo Marx, a relatively straight man who performed with the main three for a while. And, there was Gummo, who never was with the guys once they made it big. He was with them in vaudeville.

Kitty Carlisle used to be on game shows when I was a kid. She is fantastic in this movie. She's pretty and has a great voice.

The one who doesn't speak is Harpo. And then in the middle of the mayhem he plays something beautiful on the harp.

The one that plays the harp is Harpo. (& the one that plays the grouch is Groucho) ...and the one that plays the cheeks is Chico!

As much as I love the brothers, Groucho was a true comedy genius. He once did an interview which was allocated for 30 minutes. he was so funny although the program stopped the cameras kept rolling and Groucho kept the interviewer and audience laughing for another hour. I believe the interview is somewhere here on RU-vid and is a must see.

Sig Ruman is a character actor that I always enjoy seeing in movies.

Kitty Carlisle was a fixture on daytime tv game shows in the '60s and 70s when she was an older woman.

In case you didn't know, 2 Queen albums were named for their movies. "A Day At The Races" and "A Night At The Opera."

Every New Year’s Day there is a Marx Brothers Marathon at The Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts. There’s nothing like watching The Marx Brothers in a full theatre especially “A Night At The Opera”. You would absolutely love it.

I used to watch these movies as a kid in the 70's. They actually were shown on TV when there was only 13 channels. I used to watch it with my brothers and sisters, just rolling with laughter. This is pure gold!

I'm glad you enjoyed it so much and hope you will take a deep dive into the brilliant comedy of Thr Marx Brothers!

It was a joy watching you watch this one. The Marx Brothers never made a bad film - looking forward to you and them, together again. And don’t forget W.C. Fields, also from the ‘30s and ‘40s. Thank you, Dawn.
