Not as well known to the general public as the Marx brothers movies, this film is unquestionably one of funniest, best-written, best-acted & best-directed comedies of all time, right up there with Bringing Up Baby, Duck Soup & The Bank Dick. The writing in particular is extraordinary - just check out the names: Gertrude Kockenlocker & Ignatz Ratzkywatzky? It's also full of memorably hilarious set-pieces. 11 stars!
