A Afternoon At The Ballet A wonderful and loving pastiche that fits neatly in between A Day At The Races and A Night At The Opera. The beginning of a series that never continued. Sadly there are not as many Marx Brothers fans as there used to be. I first saw this in the theater an immediately recommended it to all my friends. I then got the VHS and now the DVD. Simply excellent.You cannot go wrong with this.Hopefully someone else will try to carry the torch.
Great film, bought it for the clay bumpers at the beginning and end titles. Funny movie, too. My favorite part is the swan lake sequence. Well written, and ridiculously executed. Seeing these bumbling goofballs in clay is the icing on the cake.
It'll be years before we even come close to the Japanese. "This is YOUR underwear ? Thank god, I thought someone had sewn up all my fly-holes !"
Pity it only seems to be available as a region 1.
Much better than expected. This comedy was very fast paced, and funny. That is all you can really ask for in a comedy.
Hilarious & Entertaining My husband first showed me this movie when we were just college sweethearts, and because I was a serious ballet dancer and I also loved corny comedies, he knew I would love this movie. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves physical (and sometimes ridiculous) comedy. My favorite scene is the one of the serious ballet dancers of Swan Lake amidst the giant yellow duck being persued by hunters. You will laugh throughout the entire movie and be highly entertained.
