Often considered their best, this second Marx Brothers movie revolves around a stolen painting and the sprawling estate of a wealthy dowager who soon finds Chico, Zeppo, Harpo, and, especially, Groucho turning her life upsidedown. Groucho croons his famous "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" and delivers many of his most famous quips in this film based on a play by George S. Kaufman. (official distributor synopsis)

Groucho Marx in some scenes reminds me of Vlasta Burian, mainly with his wit, but I definitely prefer Burian. However, it cannot be denied that the brothers are simply funny and moreover, artistically talented overall, as evidenced by their musical numbers. I found it amusing that it wasn't until this movie that I realized that Groucho's mustache - and actually his eyebrows as well - are drawn on.
