Not a single second of this wonderful 1932 movie is dated! Along with the following year's "Duck Soup" this is Marx Brothers lunacy at its peak! The college backdrop suits their brand of anti-establishment anarchy perfectly, the one-liners are impeccable and delivered with lightning speed, even the musical interludes are brilliantly integrated.
No boring schmaltz Muzak, no bland pair of lovers, no toning-down of the brothers' wild nonsense and relegating them to the side-tracks as amiable pals. In short: no MGM restrictions to satire and goofiness... not yet.
The pic's just pure unadulterated fun from start to finish. And it's more modern and livelier than most contemporary comedies put together.
