The Marx Brothers cause chaos in the world of opera when Otis B. Driftwood (Groucho Marx) meets aspiring singer Riccardo, who is determined to win the love of fellow performer Rosa. Aided by Fiorello (Chico Marx) and Tomasso (Harpo Marx), Otis attempts to unite the young couple, but faces opposition from the preening star Lassparri, who also has his sights on Rosa. Travelling from Italy to New York, Otis and friends rally to try and win the day. The first of five films the Marx Brothers made for MGM and was one of MGM’s biggest hits at the 1935 box office.
“Quite the funniest, the most ambitious and the most entertaining of any of the Marx Brothers cinema offerings.” (Boston Globe)
