Comment
This is the Marx Brothers at their madcap and slapstick best as they cause chaos on a trans-atlantic liner. This is not a film with carefull developed plot and characters, but is very funny as each of the four Marx brothers (Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo) use their different talents to generate comedy from each situation.
