Double Feature



A Night at the Opera
The Marx Brothers take on the high brow with full comedic force in A Night At The Opera. With non-stop wise-acre zingers, antics, gags, and fabulous musical interludes (the brothers’ shining stamps), this laugh-a-moment adventure posits Groucho as Otis P. Driftwood, would-be manager and opera producer trying (with Chico and Harpo as co-conspiring stowaway tramps/petty con artists) to kick-start the burgeoning careers and love lives of two young performers, making big Broadway bucks doing it. Playing off both the brothers’ humorous and musical talents, this classic harnesses the energy of old-timey vaudeville and plays it uproariously on the biggest Opera stages in the world!

Go West
The Marxmen Go West to where the sun always shines, the fun never sets and where they outwit a land grabber. Highlights include the $1 scam, the stagecoach ride, Chico and Harpo bellying up to the bar and the train-chase finale. What fools these mortals be and what fuels they need. The boys chop up passenger cars to get wood to stoke the locomotive. (Warner Bros.)
