Summary
The Marx Brothers skewer medicine and bring home a racetrack winner in the hilarious A Day at the Races. In his favorite role, Groucho is Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush MD, PhD, RFD, MC, PDQ, BYOB, and none of the above dispensing horse pills and quips with equal glee. Chico, Harpo, and favorite foil Margaret Dumont join the fun of this thoroughly thoroughbred comedy. Enjoy tootsie-frootsie ice cream, Dumont's medical exam, Harpo's pretty-girl pantomime sketch, wallpaper wackiness, and wall-to-wall hilarity the Marx way.
