The Marx Brothers take on high society. Two lovers who are both in opera are prevented from being together by the man's lack of acceptance as an operatic tenor.
Pulling several typical Marx Brothers' stunts, they arrange for the normal tenor to be absent so that the young lover can get his chance. Did you know Edit. Trivia In exasperation after several attempts to have Groucho Marx read one of his lines in the manner director Sam Wood had requested, Wood exclaimed, "I guess you just can't make an actor out of clay. Goofs When Tomasso plays the harp, the sound is briefly out of sync a couple of times.
This is due to the fact that Harpo Marx always recorded his harp music in a studio and then synched during the shoot. Quotes Otis B. Alternate versions All references to the first portion of the film taking place in Italy were edited from the original negative sometime after the original release. There is speculation that this was done during WWII when Italy was as Axis power, but it also may have been done in the late 's to appease Mussolini, who didn't like the way Italians were being portrayed.
Either way, the film's first scene begins rather abruptly and is missing a musical number and references to Milan, Italy.
User reviews Review. Top review. A Classic Comedy. A new love of mine is the Marx Brothers. Actually, I have known of them for a while, but haven't come to appreciate them till now.
I was introduced to them when I was 8 or 9 and it was through just one movie, Go West. The movie is really not a great film and at times, it's not really a good film, but as a kid I loved certain parts of it, especially the stage coach scene in which the brothers and the passengers try to survive a bumpy carriage ride.
Really, the film has classic Groucho lines but they have to carry the movie more than they should. Up until a few nights ago, I never really appreciated the Marx Brothers for their films outside what I remember from Go West and left it at that. Then I happened across a documentary on PBS about the life of Groucho Marx and his rise, fall, and rise again in the Hollywood landscape. It was fascinating and if you ever get a chance, I recommend you check it out to- it really is a good introduction to Groucho Marx and what type of person he was.
Anyway, a few nights later I saw the movie, A Night at the Opera, was playing on TV and decided that this would be a great movie to watch while all this new found knowledge and appreciation for the Marx Brothers was swirling in my head. I set my TiVO to record the program but ended up watching the whole thing in real time due to sheer interest and getting hooked into the film early. The film tells the tale of one Otis P. Driftwood Groucho who plays a business manager of a wealthy woman Groucho's long time straight madam Margaret Dumont looking to become a well known name in New York's elite.
While in Europe, Driftwood arranges to have her place a rather large sum of money into the New York Opera which uses the money to pay a famous opera tenor, Rodollfo Lassparri Walter King to sing in their upcoming season in New York. The move is a seamless role of gags and one-liners that really never slows down except for a rather long musical number on a cruise ship.
The film is a classic for seeing Grouch at the top of his game and you begin to look forward to his scenes since he really has no joke that doesn't fall flat. Save Me May 9.
