Monkey Business

<p>(October 19, 1931)
</p>
<p> Like other Marx Brothers pictures (The Cocoanuts, Animal
Crackers), Monkey Business makes as little sense as possible.
For this and other reasons, admirers of the Marx brothers will
find it marvellously funny. Admirers of Harpo Marx who, when he
smiles, looks like a maniacal Charlie Chaplin, will be
particularly pleased. He is still the funniest as well as the
most versatile Marx. Young Zeppo is more active than usual but
he seems a dullard in comparison to his funnier brothers. Zeppo
(Herbert) Marx has always been embarrassed by the necessity for
playing pallid roles which cause spectators to say that there
are only three and one-half Marx brothers.</p>
