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. It's a little long but never dull. I haven't seen enough of the Marx Brothers' films to say which is their best and which is their worst. Certificate: Passed What keeps this one together mostly is Groucho who manages to make you laugh in nearly all the scenes he is in. It does, however, have the potential of being their best movie. One musical number includes many African-American performers, but also includes some negative racial … Judy Standish (Maureen O'Sullivan) owns the failing Standish Sanitarium. Was this review helpful? There are several memorable laugh-out-loud scenes but it is the final race sequence that tops them all. 'A Day At The Races' is another laugh riot from the Marx Brothers. The sequence in which Chico keeps selling more books to Groucho proves to be one of the Brothers' all time funniest. 6 out of 6 found this helpful. When MGM had such a great success with A Night at the Opera, their first film with the Marx Brothers it was only natural that they reunite them with Allan Jones again. 5 out of 7 found this helpful.

I wanted to kill myself during the musical numbers of that film.

The Marx Brothers (Groucho, Chico and Harpo, Zeppo left after "Duck Soup) "A Day at the Races" (1937) surpasses "A Night at the Opera" because of its sheer amount of good scenes. A penniless theatrical producer must outwit the hotel efficiency expert trying to evict him from his room, while securing a backer for his new play. A DAY AT THE RACES (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1937), directed by Sam Wood, capitalizes on the current trend of horse-racing movies done by the numbers during the 1937-38 cycle, notably MGM's own 1937 releases of "Saratoga" and "Broadway Melody of 1938" as well as "Stablemates" (1938). Groucho is the doctor brought in to help things along and it equals hilarious results. 2 out of 2 found this helpful. The musical numbers were never my favorite parts of the Marx films unless they were comedy songs that were part of the story, as in Animal Crackers or Duck Soup.

The three brothers display their comedic gifts but for me it is Chico Marx who stands out. Cast: Groucho, Chico, and Harpo Marx Whitey's Lindy Hoppers : …
