 The first 5 minutes of this film containing a priceless monologue  by Groucho Marx as Professor Quincy Waggstaff, the new Dean of Huxley College is probably the absolute funniest opening of a movie you have ever seen, it leads to a crazy musical number --  Whatever it is. . . I'm against it !!!   The Marx brothers at their zany and funniest as the invade the institution of higher learning and make a subversive farce over all of it.   Eventually the brothers wind up mixed up with gangsters who are trying to fix a college football game.  The class room scene,  the speak-easy scene, the wooing of college widow Thelma Todd scene, the several versions of the  Everyone Says I Love You  song  and Harpo making a chariot out of a trash collectors cart and getting on to the football field.... well be prepared.  You may hurt yourself laughing so hard over this one.   

Groucho's personal favorite film was  A Night at the Opera,  and you have to say  Duck Soup was their best and craziest,  but this one I believe is the funniest and the one I never ever get tired of seeing and laughing at.   WOW.

#16 b on my Greatest Movies List     16b?   Yeah.. that's right.. I'm making a subversive mockery of my own list and using two Marx Brothers movies at 16 a and  16 b   to do it.   Come get me.
