A veterinarian posing as a doctor and a race-horse owner and his friends struggle to help keep a sanitarium open with the help of a misfit race-horse.
From memory: A perfect Marx Brothers vessel: embedded in a silly romance and interspersed with mediocre musical asides, the trio finds enough room to wreak havoc with their anarchic humor.
Halliwell****: "Fashions in Marxism change, but this top quality production, though lacking their zaniest inspirations, does contain several of their funniest routines and a spectacularly well integrated racehorse climax. The musical and romantic asides are a matter of taste but delightfully typical of their time."
Maltin***1/2: "...often uproarious comedy features some of the trio's funniest set pieces...A perfunctory storyline and unmemorable songs keep it from tooping its immediate predecessor, A NIGHT AT THE OPERA...but the comedy is sensational."
