Groucho, Harpo and Chico (minus sibling Zeppo, who had just left the act) refined their material to perfection, and "A Night at the Opera" – a Turner Classic Movies staple that the channel shows again Thursday, Oct. 28, to start an evening of attractions chosen by guest-programmer filmmaker Re- becca Miller – shows just how well they honed their work. The 1935 laughfest does turn an operatic per- formance into something of a circus, and the siblings are up for every hu- morous turn of the plot. And there are plenty of those. Though the picture works best by just taking the fast-paced chuck- les as they come, there is a linear plot with Groucho as shyster lawyer Otis B. Driftwood, who's overseeing a client's (frequent Marx foil Marga- ret Dumont) investment in an opera company. A celebrated, pompous tenor (Walter Woolf King) has his eye on the same role as an earnest aspiring singer (Allan Jones), and both men have a romantic interest in the show's soprano (later game- show panelist and socialite Kitty Carlisle). Driftwood tries to see to it that the right man gets the role; that would be Jones, who stows away on a voyage from Italy to New York along with two other hidden pas- sengers (Harpo, Chico). Everyone's presence pretty much becomes known in the film's legendary scene that crowds countless characters into a relatively small stateroom, with waiters basically reduced to body-surfing above others' heads as they try to deliver food. moviereview By Jay Bobbin Kitty Carlisle and Harpo Marx in "A Night at the Opera" The Marx Brothers run wild in "A Night at the Opera"
