A Day At The Races (1937) ***

Marx Brother's second film for MGM is almost as good as the first (1935's "A Night At The Opera"), with many classic scenes (Chico selling "tutsy frutsy" ice-cream, Groucho seducing Margaret Dumont). Only Harpo's antics seem to be loosing their edge. The wild satyr of the previous films gives way to a child-like innocent.
