Groucho Marx plays African explorer Capt. Spaulding, who's just returned to the states to inflict comic carnage on the highfalutin party of society matron Mrs. Rittenhouse (Margaret Dumont).
Groucho regales the partygoers with tales of his adventures in the wild ("I shot an elephant in my pajamas; how he got there I'll never know" and so on). Meanwhile, Harpo chases blondes, and Chico connives.
Today's best marathon is on Turner Classics--every Marx Brothers movie. Tune in for the day or just a few minutes...either way, you're guaranteed a laugh or 20.
Nothing comes close to the comedic genius of the Marx Brothers! And this film is definitely one of many brilliances. Groucho's long monologue about his safari adventures is just simply hilarious!
