Night at the Opera, A (1935)
Grand opera meets grand comedy, as Groucho, Chico and Harpo cram a ship's stateroom and more with wall-to-wall gags, one-liners, musical riffs and two hard-boiled eggs - all to save the opera and help two young hopefuls get a break.

Day at the Races, A
The Marxes skewer medicine and bring home a racetrack winner! Enjoy Tootsie-Frootsie ice cream, favourite foil Margaret Dumont's medical exam, Harpo's pretty-girl pantomime sketch, wallpaper wackiness and absolute hilarity the Marx way.

At the Circus (1939)
The 3-ring circus that is Groucho, Chico and Harpo provide big-top bedlam At The Circus. Groucho and Chico work a badge skit, Chico and Harpo scour a strongman's bedroom for evidence, Grouch extol's Lydia the Tattooed Lady and logic, like the orchestra at the film's anctic conclusion, is cut adrift and out to sea. You can learn a lot from Lydia.

Go West (1940)
The Marxmen Go West to where the sun always shines, the fun never sets and where they outwit a land grabber. Highlights include the $1 scam, the stagecoach ride, Chico and Harpo bellying up to the bar and the train-chase finale.

Big Store, The (1941)
The brothers go east in The Big Store, becoming detectives-cum-bodyguards for a department store. Crime is afoot in the store or, if in the fabrics department, by the yard. Still, our sleuths don't have a clue except in laughing matters. Chico and Harpo share a piano keyboard, beds disappear into walls, roller skates provide in-store mobility and Groucho warbles Sing While You Sell. Sold!
