You won't be able to stop laughing!

What little plot there is centers around Groucho becoming the dictator of the fictitious country Freedonia while Harpo and Chicko are sent to spy on him. None of that really matters, however, as this film is really just an exorcise in seeing how much madcap comedy can be shoved into 70 minutes. Jokes, puns, sight-gags, slapstick, musical-numbers, prop-humor, political-satire and other irreverent merriment's fill every frame. A box-office flop in it's day, it has since been hailed as a Marx Brothers masterpiece.

One of the best comedies of all time

I love The Marx Brothers and this is their best movie in my opinion. Its a classic right up there with the best comedies of all time.

A Pairing of Greats!

Barrymore's best role in the talkies (before the declining years) as outrageous, ultra-theatrical manager Oscar Jaffe, and Carole Lombard as plain jane turned diva tempestuous star Lily Garland create fireworks together and Howard Hawks' usually snappy dialog abounds. Delightful, funny and fresh screwball comedy, still holds up after all this time and proves why both actors were considered among the greatest of their generation.
