The anarchy of Groucho Marx in 1931 mostly comes off in 2023 as major a**holery. He batters with his words, some true and/or funny, but overall make 90 minutes feel like 4 hours. Harpo's childlike persona is frequently endearing but overshadowed by his creepy habit of running after scared women. Chico's middle of the road character comes off best and it's always a joy to watch him play piano.
This is now on my Holly's Official List of Movies She'll Never Watch Again, topped by Oklahoma and Ben-Hur, and many more.
