The Marx Brothers do a superlative job here with their zany antics, and their rough-around- the-edges humour was truly unique. The cinematography was fabulous, the pace was fast moving, the screenplay was inventive... read more

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.

The Marx Brothers do a superlative job here with their zany antics, and their rough-around- the-edges humour was truly unique. The cinematography was fabulous, the pace was fast moving, the screenplay was inventive and phenomenally witty, and the plot is effective enough without being contrived.

The romance between the two songbirds Allan Jones and Kitty Carlisle was sweet, and while it has thought been thought to be of irrelevance to the story, it didn't detract too much for me to enjoy this film.

"Re-watch - Jan. 26th Of course the answer to her question was, "Yes, I have all of them." And then she insisted we watch one more, so I put on A Night at the Opera for us. And she loved it about as much as Animal Crackers, so I suspect we'll be watching more of their films as the year rolls along. You'll hear no complaints from me."
