- Monkey Business
-
-
- (October 19, 1931)
-
- Like other Marx Brothers pictures (The Cocoanuts, Animal
- Crackers), Monkey Business makes as little sense as possible.
- For this and other reasons, admirers of the Marx brothers will
- find it marvellously funny. Admirers of Harpo Marx who, when he
- smiles, looks like a maniacal Charlie Chaplin, will be
- particularly pleased. He is still the funniest as well as the
- most versatile Marx. Young Zeppo is more active than usual but
- he seems a dullard in comparison to his funnier brothers. Zeppo
- (Herbert) Marx has always been embarrassed by the necessity for
- playing pallid roles which cause spectators to say that there
- are only three and one-half Marx brothers.
