"aw you crazy, flies can't read papers...."
14 December 2004
This was the first Marx Brother film written directly for the screen. We follow four un-named ocean liner stowaways who try to avoid capture by the ship's captain. They also become involved with warring gangsters who are traveling on the boat. I always liked what the studio was trying to do with Zeppo in this film. He gets to be very funny here. It's odd to see this normal looking man, dressed in an expensive suit, pal around with three guys who dress and act like they are totally out of their minds. You would almost think that Zeppo could have had a solo career outside his brothers. My favorite scene: All four of them trying to escape the boat disquised as Maurice Chevalier.
