Love Happy

The Marx Brothers are responsible for some of the funniest comedies that this country has ever produced. Unfortunately, this is not one of their finest efforts. It will probably be remembered for two things: one, the fact that it was the brothers' last offical film, and second, it was the film that introduced the world to Marilyn Monroe. It's got some laughs thanks to the script co-written by Frank Tashlin, but not as brilliant and consistent as their best work. The film focues primarily on Chico and Harpo, while Groucho is little more than the film's narrator, and, as I understand, filmed and added after the fact. For now, we just smile and offer a laugh for old times sake.
