Room Service—one-of-a-kind, fun watch—provides the enjoyable, creative comedy of the Marx Brothers: Chico, Harpo, and Groucho Marx. This film relies on limited stage setting which kindly allows the audience to focus on story and dialogue. Audiences can appreciate this rarely seen technique for a theatrical release. Watch for Lucille Ball's appearance in this film. It's great to see the brothers again.

ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This good watch is both creative and original. Great work for all involved in production.
At the Circus—not one of the best films for
the Marx Brothers—maintains interest and comedy value despite its age. Know that at times it drags but has a few memorable one-liners. It's a fair afternoon watch.

It is interesting to see the Marx Brothers performing in a lower grade film.
