Editorial Review:
Groucho Chico Harpo - all certifiably wacko in a double dip of comedies. The Marxmen Go West (Side A) to where the sun always shines the fun never sets and where they outwit a land grabber. Highlights include the $1 scam the stagecoach ride Chico and Harpo bellying up to the bar and the train-chase finale. What fools these mortals be and what fuels they need. The boys chop up passenger cars to get wood to stoke the locomotive. They go east in The Big Store (Side B) becoming detectives-cum-bodyguards for a department store. Crime is afoot in the store or if in the Fabrics Department by the yard. Still our sleuths don't have a clue except in laughing matters. Chico and Harpo share a piano keyboard bedsdisappear into walls roller skates provide in-store mobility and Groucho warbles Sing While You Sell.

Rating:  - lukewarm films for diehard Marx Brothers fans
This DVD offers two of the later films by The Marx Brothers; they're not the very best movies but that is because L. B. Mayer at MGM Studios simply didn't like them. The brothers got lesser quality scripts as a result. Sigh.

Rating: - A sporadically good showcase, but mostly for completists
There are Marx Brothers Classics out there and Go West isn't one of them, although longtime afficionados who must have read negative reviews of their latter films somewhere along the way, might be very surprised at the number of clever, successful gags, and energetic performances by the comedy legends.
The somewhat complicated plot (feature comedies in the '40s were big on plots with bad guys and young lovers who are threatened by them and seek the aide of the starring comedy team) involving the search ... Read More
Rating: - For the love of Groucho
You might have to be a fan already, but Go West's train chase is positively worth the price of this copy as well as one of the funniest on film.
