The Story

A two-part musical pastiche of everything that was corny and glorious in 1930s Hollywood. The first feature is a tribute to the silver screen complete with tap dancing ushers at Grauman’s Chinese. In the second, Groucho, Chico and Harpo wreak havoc on Margaret Dumont’s country estate with silly songs and pun-loving patter.
