At last: Harpos long awaited solo movie, co-starring Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, Marilyn Monroe and Raymond Burr.

Review:

Harpo works as caterer for a musical production. Chico is on the crew because he knows how to handle the man who wants money for the sets and costumes. Groucho is after the hot woman who is after the royal Romanoff diamonds, which are hidden in a can of sardines which Harpo stole.

Of course, Duck Soup was better, and so were, I assume, the even older movies that I didn’t see. Yaddayaddayada. I know that kind of talk because I used to talk in this fashion myself. But that was long ago, I have seen a ton of other movies since, and after rewatching it now I must say: wow! Funny! Entertaining!

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Trivia: They say that Harpo wanted to make a solo movie, but Chico had to be in it because of his gambling depts, and the investors insisted on Groucho. Also in the cast: not so important actors like Raymond Burr and Marilyn Monroe.
