"Arguably their finest film. This is an good as it gets!" > > > > > Arts patron Mrs Claypool intends to pay pompous opera star Lassparri $1,000 per performance. Hey, maybe that's why they call it 'Grand Opera'. Grand comedy too, as Groucho, Chico and Harpo cram a ship's stateroom and more with wall-to-wall gags, one-liners, musical riffs and two hard-boiled eggs - all while skewering Lassparri's schemes and helping two young hopefuls (Kitty Carlisle and Allan Jones) get a break. To save the opera, our heroes must first destroy it. And they must also gain ocean passage as stowaways, pull the wool (if not the beards) over the eyes of City Hall, shred legal mumbo-jumbo into a sanity clause, pester dowager Claypool (Margaret Dumont) and unleash so much glee that many say this is the best Marx Brothers movie. Seeing is believing... The disc comes packed with Extras: An all-new documentary "Remarks On Marx"; 2x vintage shorts - "Sunday Night At The Trocadero" and Robert Benchley's Oscar-winning "How To Sleep"; Commentary by Leoard Maltin; Original theatrical Trailer...

If you only ever watch one Marx Brother film, make it this one. Priceless, from the opening scenes, through the classic exchange between Groucho and Harpo that ends with crack about there being no santa claus!!
Catching the mood of the times-the depression of the 1930s with timeless humour, you will not be disappointed!
