A Night At The Opera

So, I'm thinking the people who think this is the best Marx Brothers movie, maybe they've only seen the state room scene.
'Cause, don't get me wrong, it was good and the parts that had the Marxes in them were funny. But then there were all the scenes where a shrill soprano and a voice swallowing tenor sing for, like, an hour.
The scene in Groucho's hotel where they have breakfast and then Chico and Harpo have to hide from the police was probably my favorite.
You know, Marx Brothers movies are pretty much impossible to review. They're all basically the same review: I like the parts where the Marxes do things and the extraneous characters bore me. The end.

End of line.
