The Marx Brothers: A Night at the Opera
Phoebus Film Club Series
Released in November 1935, this musical comedy is universally considered to be the Marx Brothers' best and most popular film, and it received impressive critical and box office acclaim when released. The most famous of the comedy team's routines are included here - the crowded shipboard stateroom scene, the contract-tearing scene between Groucho and Chico, the rearranged furniture and bed-switching sequence to elude a private detective, the operatic finale (a lavish production number) with Harpo swinging Tarzan ape-like on stage flyropes in tune to Verdi's music, and sprinkled throughout - Groucho's zippy one-line insults and flirtations with his perennial nemesis - Margaret Dumont. A Night at the Opera is a deliciously zany romp worth watching again and again.
