Wissenswertes
For Groucho Marx' performance of "'Lydia, the Tattooed Lady", additional lyrics were written by E.Y. Harburg exclusively for screenings of the film for Allied servicemen in European war zones. The special lyrics included the line "When she stands the world grows littler; When she sits, she sits on Hitler.' This version of the song was filmed, and included in prints of the film distributed in Great Britain and France, and was greeted with marked enthusiasm during screenings in those countries.

Patzer
During the "Swingali" number, three boys playing saxophones stand up and play "Auld Lang Syne," but the instruments heard on the soundtrack are clarinets.

Zitate
Peerless Pauline: I've waited so long to find someone like you.
J. Cheever Loophole: Oh, someone *like* me, I'm not good enough for you, eh?

One extra star for the great Eve Arden

Not one of the best Marx Bros. Movies (i.e., Duck Soup, A Day at the Races, and A Night at the Opera) but also not one of the worst either. So, solidly mid-pack. The romantic subplot involving Florence Rice's character is a total waste of time because her suitor, the singer Kenny Baker (no, not Star Wars' Kenny Baker; this movie is from 1939!), is a terrible non-actor. Harpo's musical number, surrounded by black dancers, singers, and musicians, is way above average. And the best part of this one is the supporting role played by Eve Arden as a female "daredevil" circus acrobat who is also a pickpocket and scammer. As was so often the case with any movies featuring her "2nd banana" characters, she's the best thing about any scene she is in, and that's hard to pull off when Groucho Marx is your scene partner!
