Rufus T. Firefly: Remember, you're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably more than she ever did.
With the Marx Brothers at their most craziest, this ranks at a VERY close second to my all time favorite, Night at the Opera. The nuthouse is now an open house and the nuts run the country.
There are quite a number of great skits throughout this film. Most well known is the Mirror Skit as Harpo, disguised as Groucho, pantomines him from the other side of a very recently broken mirror.
Another favorite of mine is the torment that Edgar Kennedy goes through as the Lemonade Vendor; as a kid I simply loved Chico and Harpo giving him hell and now I really appreciate Kennedy's ability to play the foil with such skill and frustration.
As I've said, this is one of my favorites of a Marx Brothers fanboy and a d@mn fine addition to this HoF!
