Here the Marx Brothers are employed at a hotel in postwar Casablanca . This movie brought The Marx Brothers and their zany magnificence back to the screen after a five-year of absence . Groucho , Chico and Harpo find themselves in the luxurious Hotel Casablanca , where a ring of Nazis -commanded by Heinrich Stubel : Sig Ruman- is trying to recover a cache of stolen treasure. There our friends Groucho , Chico , Harpo going after some leftover Nazis searching for treasure. The Funniest Picture in Ten Years!."The Marx Bros. Are three of our foremost comedians...my wife can tell you the name of the fourth" says Eddie Cantor. Don't miss it! The funniest picture ever made!
Amusing and entertaining Marx picture , it has a lot of funny and crazy material . Groucho's wisecracks , Harpo' mute gestures, and the incomparable Chico carry the movie . One of the later Marx Brothers' films , but still loaded with the familiar wisecracks , chaos , disorder , revelry , and mayhem. The humor is almost undiluted due to Marx lunacy , from the chaos at a hotel room in which the Marx Brothers hide into cupboards or trunks , to the crashing collapse of a wall that Harpo has insisted he is holding up , to so huge stork that it leaves no room to wine . Along the way , Chico baffles his companions with double talk while Groucho lopes across the screen as the manager of the Hotel Casablanca. The plot is plain and simple , dealing with the wacky Marx Brothers searching for a Nazi treasure at a hotel and meantime , humiliating their stuffy and snobbish enemy : Sig Ruman . Later on , Marx Brothers anarchize the luxury hotel , insulting and mocking the guests . Their actions include some on stage antics during a show , and an amusing dance while Chico and Harpo are setting the dinner tables .
Classic Marx film with many fun sequences , this is one of the most sustained bit of insanity , full of outlandish gags , antics and amusement , being now deemed a satiric masterpiece ,and one of the biggest hits . Although it suffers from staginess and excesive surrealist plotting , but it gives the zany threesome plenty of comic elaboration . Enough gags for give several movies , but our favorite is still the merriment and fuss in the hotel room when they are tricking the Nazi count into putting clothes in and out of closets and drawers .The Marx Bros (minus Zeppo) are in peak form in this vintage comedy with co-stars as Charles Drake, Lois Collier , Sig Ruman , including sparkling dialogs with Groucho . Furthermore , Sig Ruman makes his last of three appearances in The Marx Brothers films . However , this Marx Brothers film was made without brother Zeppo Marx, it started a new trend of The Marx Brothers movies featuring a Zeppo-like supporting character who carries the love story and sings the songs . Don't miss it , one of the funniest picture ever made by Marx Brothers. This charming comedy as well as hilariously amusing motion picture was professionally and skillfully directed by Archie Mayo, though with not originality, being similar to other Marx films . Archie Mayo had a decent cinematic career, directing acceptable films, such as : Night after night, The Mayor of hell, Bordertown, It is love I'm after, Four sons, Confirm or deny, Orchestra wives, Night in Casablanca, being his greatest hit : The petrified forest. Rating : 7/10 acceptable and decent picture that will appeal to comedy genre lovers and Marx Brothers enthusiasts.
Other important films starred by Marx Brothers -many of them Broadway farce plays transfered by scenarists into vehicle for the Brothres- , they are the following ones : ¨Animal crackers¨, ¨Duck soap¨ that was a flop when first released but today considered a masterpiece , ¨Horse Feathers¨, ¨A night at the Opera¨, ¨At the circus¨, ¨Day at the races¨ , ¨Room service¨ , ¨Go West¨, ¨Love Happy¨ and ¨Night in Casablanca¨, though in 1946 the Marx formula was wearing thin . Any film with Groucho , Chico , Harpo is well worth seeing .
