After being a huge Marx Bros. fan my entire life, I finally laid down and watched Go West, expecting to be disappointed. I don't know why, I guess that I heard the latter MGM films didn't live up to the first two (though I did enjoy Room Service). Go West is a treasure.
Not living up to Duck Soup doesn't mean that Go West isn't chock full of little gems to be savored. These comics are so far ahead of their time (and ours), that one can't help but marvel at their freshness and flavor. I am so glad that I waited to see this, seeing a Marx Bros. film for the first time at my age, what a treat. Next stop, the Big Store!
