It's incredible that this was made in 1933, at the beginning of the film you would think it just to be another well spoken well mannered Black & White film with the typical love interest, but the way Groucho just walks in and begins this constant stream of put down one-liners is just hilarious, I can only liken it to the thought of a comedian from today going back to 1933, walking straight on to a film set and starts taking the rise out of the entire production. So ahead of it's time it's untrue...
