Double Feature: A DAY AT THE RACES & 75th Anniversary! A NIGHT AT THE OPERA January 1, 2011

Double Feature: A DAY AT THE RACES, 1937, Warner Bros., 111 min. Dir. Sam Wood. The Marx Brothers’ second (and most expensive) MGM film serves up Groucho as Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush, who arouses all sorts of suspicion when he’s hired as the new head of a posh sanitarium - and with good reason: He’s actually a veterinarian! Includes the celebrated "tootsie-fruitsie" and examination routines, as well as a tremendous cast including Maureen O’Sullivan, Allan Jones, Douglass Dumbrille, Sig Ruman, Esther Muir and, of course, Margaret Dumont. [35mm]

75th Anniversary! A NIGHT AT THE OPERA, 1935, Warner Bros., 92 min. Dir. Sam Wood. The Marx Brothers' first film for MGM, first without Zeppo, and their biggest box office hit finds them in the mix with a couple of beleaguered opera singer pals who are having career trouble. Enjoy the stateroom scene, the contract routine and tons of great one-liners, and remember: "There ain't no sanity clause!" Numerous writers (many uncredited) include George S. Kaufman and even Buster Keaton. With Kitty Carlisle, Allan Jones, Sig Ruman and Margaret Dumont. [35mm] Andy Marx, grandson of Groucho, will introduce the screening.
