Capturing a Golden Moment #12: Monkey Business (1931)

October 12, 2015  /  Arthur Grant

In this series I'd like to present some exceptional scenes inspired by cinema's most gifted artists of yesteryear.

 

Monkey Business (1931)

Director: Norman Z. McLeod

Scene: "Punch and Judy Show"

Harpo is one of the Marx Brothers, all of whom are cruise ship stowaways running from the authorities. His exuberant infiltration of a puppet show fits right in with its slapstick nature, and increases the children's enjoyment, judging by their rambunctious response. Notice their adorable "waves goodbye" as Harpo makes his exit.

 

 

Monkey Business is available on DVD along with four other Marx Brothers' movies here:

I wonder what Maurice Chevalier would have made of this.
