Monkey Business is a story about the Marx Brothers on a boat trip.
Of course they boarded the boat as stowaways and of course they get into trouble with almost everyone on the boat when trying to hide from the captain and the crew.
As usual they annoy everyone and they also play some nice mucial pieces and Harpo also sets out for his regular chase of, not least, blondes. Is it because they have more fun or just because he is blond himself?
I've written before that the films we've now seen by the Marx Brothers doesn't make me laugh as wildely as I did when seeing their films as a younger man but on the other hand these might not be their best ones.
Their jokes are somewhat obsolete, and the chase (chasing) scenes really connects with the earliest movies in the dawn of the film making and it's not particularly innovative.
