The Marx Brothers: “A Night at the Opera”

The Marx Brothers run amuck in the world of opera when Otis B. Driftwood (Groucho) meets aspiring singer Ricardo (Allan Jones), who is determined to win the love of fellow performer Rosa (Kitty Carlisle). Aided by Fiorello (Chico) and Tomasso (Harpo), Otis attempts to unite the young couple, but faces opposition from the preening star Lassparri (Walter Woolf King), who also has his sights set on Rosa. Traveling from Italy to New York, Otis and friends rally to try and win the day. “A Night at the Opera” was written by Tony Award-winning writer George S. Kaufman (”You Can't Take It With You”) and also stars Marx Brothers' favorite female co-star Margaret Dumont. Rated G; 1 hour and 36 minutes.
