Review – A Day at the Races

Once again the Marx Brothers are up to their wacky antics. Though this is a more polished production than many of their earlier efforts, at the same time it’s not quite as funny. The routines are reminiscent of classics such as A Night at the Opera, but somehow the humor seems stiffer, more forced. Though it’s still considerably better than a lot of other comedies out there, it’s just not up to par with what Groucho, Chico and Harpo were capable of doing. Also, the non-Marx musical numbers seem even longer than usual (though that might have been my imagination). Mildly amusing
