Comments: The Maddest Comics of the Screen!

Summary: Imagine Groucho as the president of a college and Harpo and Chico as football players. It doesn't get much wackier than this. Horse feathers, indeed. Groucho is hilarious to watch as a hip professor. He's at his most rebellious singing "Whatever it is, I'm against it". Thelma Todd does some of her best vamping to help fix the big football game, which Harpo and Chico are supposed to throw. Naturally, the brothers have other ideas. For sheer laughter, this has to rate almost as high as "Duck Soup", with the memorable speakeasy sequence, and the funniest football finale of all time, complete with banana peels and a chariot. --"Bill Desowitz"
