Monkey Business

1931. USA. Directed by Norman McLeod. With Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo Marx. Stowaways on a posh transatlantic crossing, the Marx Brothers race all over the ship to elude capture. Their distinct brand of comedy involved the anarchic disruption of polite society—much in the way Dalí agitated with his own style of performance and self-promotion.
