They were the original Blue Collar Comedians—In 1935, the cheeky Marx Brothers (Groucho, Harpo and Chico) starred in a film of love, music and slapstick called A Night at the Opera . Trying to help an undiscovered singer steal both the spotlight and his lady love, the brothers’ sabotage of an opening-night opera performance naturally throws it into total chaos. Deemed as “culturally, historically and aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress, A Night at the Opera will have you in vaudevillian stitches thanks to its keen one-liners—and leave you questioning your belief in sanity clauses.
