The Marx Brothers’ Monkey Business | SIFF Uptown Theatre
$4, SIFF Cinema passes and vouchers are valid at the box office.
It’s sheer Marx Brothers zaniness, as the boys go on a transatlantic crossing where they manage to annoy just about everyone on board the ship, then save the day by rescuing a young girl from an unscrupulous gangster. Highlights include Harpo pretending to be a puppet, Harpo and Chico’s attempts to shave a sleeping barbershop customer, and all four brothers posing as Maurice Chevalier.
