A Night at the Opera (1935)

14 October 2019

The Marx Brothers did 13 films while they were active, and one of the more notable ones was A Night at the Opera (1935). Though the stories and slapstick kinda blend together in these films, it was a good film in a couple ways: the scenes are pretty memorable, whether it's ship attendants cramming into a crammed room on a cruise ship, a stage of impersonators in front of a radio audience, or a theater show going severely off the rails. It's with the Marx brothers, that were a vaudevillian style tour de force of their age. It's an entertaining film, and a good watch if you like the plot structure oscillating between romance, comedy, and music. For it's time it seems it's been pretty funny, and it's aged decently considering it's almost 85 years old. 8/10
