Monkey Business (1931)
Syracuse Cinephile Society

Price: $3.50 non-members, $3 members
Spaghetti Warehouse
689 N. Clinton St., Syracuse

Director: Norman Z. McLeod.
Cast: The Four Marx Brothers, Thelma Todd, Ruth Hall, Harry Woods, Tom Kennedy.

The first Marx Brothers comedy written especially for the screen finds Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo as stowaways on a luxury liner. It's non-stop fun as the boys get mixed up with the ship's crew, passengers, and eventually tough gangsters. The Marxes are at their wildest and funniest in this one!

Plus -- rare Marx Brothers trailers, promo shorts and even an early skit that was used as a screen test for the team. A real treat for Marx fans!
