Year: 1935
Director: Sam Wood
Reflections: A Night at the Opera showcases The Marx Brothers in a picture loaded with witty 1930's Marx Comedy. Groucho, Chico, and Harpo take the screen as a group of renegades dead-set on uniting two star-crossed opera lovers, specifically by helping a young tenor find his way onto the main stage. Shenanigans ensue as the band defies authority and takes great pleasure in sticking it to the man. It's a bit drawn out at times, but if you've never seen Groucho Marx in action, this a great starting point.
