A DAY AT THE RACES

The Marx Brothers, Maureen O'Sullivan, Allan Jones

MGM/UA; Directed by Sam Wood

Not Rated; 111 minutes; 1937

Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush's (Groucho) medical examination of hypochondriac Miss Emily Upjohn (Dumont); Harpo and Chico's mad endeavors as wallpaper hangers; Chico selling race tips to Groucho; and Groucho's "Telephone, Mr. Whitmore" routine, make A DAY AT THE RACES the Marx Brother's most hilarious effort.
