	A Day at the Races (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Day at the Races (1937) is the seventh movie starring the three Marx Brothers, with Margaret Dumont, Allan Jones and Maureen O'Sullivan.
		The film also features one of the most influential lindy hop dance sequences ever filmed, danced to the "All God's Chillum Got Rhythm" number and featuring the Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, including Frankie Manning.
		Part of the reason they see is that the film's producer, and the Brothers' leading advocate at MGM, Irving Thalberg, died in mid production and thus the studio executive who best understood the Brothers' humor was gone.

		The day began with glorious sunshine to greet the first two races of the day, between the men’s lightweight and women’s openweight reserve boats.
		By the time of the penultimate race of the day, conditions worsened, with the wind swinging round across the course while heavy rain and hail marred the enjoyment of the race for those gathered on the banks.
		In the day’s final race - the Men’s Lightweight Boat Race - Oxford led from the start in a manner that was almost predictable after their form in recent years despite the unsettling thunder, lightning and rain.

		In what was to become one of the first major disputes over film writing credit, Bosberg (primarily a gag-man) sought sole credit for the comedic scenes, leaving credit for the screenplay itself to Robert Pirosh) and George Seaton.
		Now I've seen A Day at the Races, the Brothers' follow up to A Night at the Opera, a smash hit in theaters.
		Generally, Races is considered a weak follow-up to a great film.

	A Day at the Races - film reviews
		Irving Thalberg, the legendary MGM wunderkind, took the Marx Brothers under his wing in the mid 1930's, and their resulting collaboration, A Night at the Opera, was an enormous success; it is also a comedy classic and arguably the Brothers' best picture.
		It was quickly followed up with A Day at the Races, which set to follow the formula that worked so well.
		Now, despite all this, A Day at the Races is very good when the Marx Brothers are allowed to work their chaos.

		A Day at the Races is the Marx Brothers at their commercial and popular peak, working with a top Hollywood director (Sam Wood of The Pride of the Yankees), supported with a healthy screen budget paying for such extras as a blue-tinted ballet sequence, love songs from crooner Allan Jones, and decorative sets.
		A DAY AT THE RACES is the second of the Marx/Wood/Thalberg collaborations (Marx Brothers, director Sam Wood and producer Irving Thalberg) movies made at MGM, the first the delightful A NIGHT AT THE OPERA.
		For all of its classic comedy, "A Day at the Races" (1937) signals the beginning of the Marx Brothers' creative decline after the death of producer Irving Thalberg.

	Movie Info for A Day at the Races on MSN Movies
		A Day at the Races was the Marx Brothers' follow-up to their incomparable A Night at the Opera.
		After several side-splitting routines--Chico selling Groucho tips on the races, Chico and Harpo rescuing Groucho from the clutches of femme fatale Esther Muir, all three Marxes conducting a lunatic "examination" of Margaret Dumont--the fate of the sanitarium rests on a Big Race involving Hi-Hat, a horse belonging to the film's nominal hero, Allan Jones.
		Even so, Day at the Races made more money than any other previous Marx Brothers film--the result being that MGM, in the spirit of "they loved it once", would continue recycling Races' best bits for the studio's next three Marx vehicles.

	DVD Verdict Review - A Day At The Races
		The second of their films with MGM and the final with producer Irving Thalberg, A Day at the Races is the last of the top-tier Marx Brothers pictures.
		One of the reasons I've always favored A Day at the Races, even though it's not the most side-splitting of the Marx Brothers works, is that it's probably the most cinematically coherent.
		A Day at the Race's version is set in the nightclub where Gil works, and comes on the heels of the first of the elaborate musical numbers.

	THE MARX BROTHERS COLLECTION - DVD
		A Night at the Opera is the last near-great Marx Bros. film, and it was their first at MGM; A Day at the Races followed before they lost steam in the homestretch with Room Service, At the Circus, Go West, The Big Store, and A Night in Casablanca.
		Though the films gathered here are sub-par in relation to the rest of the Marx canon, the studio demonstrates real grace in giving the films honourable transfers and collecting them in an affordable, attractive way.
		A Day at the Races' story proper concerns lovely Judy (Maureen O'Sullivan, Tarzan's erstwhile Jane, Ungawa!) and her struggle to keep her sanitarium in the fl.

		Author Juliette Friedgen states, "As in all of the Marx Brothers films, the gags in A Day at the Races are the most important things, not the believability of the plot."

		A Day at the Races (1937), the Marx Brothers' seventh film and their second for Irving Thalberg's MGM, recycles the formula that buttressed A Night at the Opera.
		While ADATR feels the most dated of the Marx Brothers' peak-years films, this scene, despite its cringe-inducing Hollywood stereotyping, is not among the reasons why.
		For a taste of period movie-going variety, we have three vintage MGM cartoons and Robert Benchley's 1937 Oscar-nominated short, A Night at the Movies (10:00), directed by Ray Rowland (The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T).

	A DAY AT THE RACES
		While not my favorite of their films, the brothers still manage to put on a fairly entertaining show.
		A DAY AT THE RACES is at its’ best when they are onscreen together, losing energy and pace when the story focuses on the supporting cast.
		Clearly these films need a greater purpose driving the brothers’ actions, but frankly I find it just gums up the comedy.

	Film-Forward Review: [A DAY AT THE RACES] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20)
		Though perhaps not the unqualified masterpiece that hard-core Marx Brothers fans believe it to be, A Day at the Races does not disappoint.
		The 1937 comedy, where the trio take on the horsy set, is often separated into set pieces, such as the famous "tutti-frutti" routine and Harpo's medical examination, both of which were lifted straight from the brother's theater act.
		We learn about their background in theater, which they would use as a testing ground for their film material, and a bit about their personal lives, such as Chico's apparently legendary success with women, as well as a much older Maureen O'Sullivan remembering Groucho's attempts at seduction.

	The Ledgers of Life - A NIGHT AT THE OPERA / A DAY AT THE RACES
		I'm not one who can easily keep my Marx Brothers film's sorted out in my memory, so I was glad for the chance to see these two straight through.
		Much of NIGHT was actually new to me (I think), but since it shares so many similarities with DAY (bland romantic "plot" surrounded by one-liners and classic chaotic bits), I hope I can be forgiven for any confusion.
		Yeah, fine, maybe their even older movies were the really good ones (so I'm told), but there's still plenty of laffs to be had here, and if modern comedians could suddenly bust into piano and harp solos I think we'd all feel younger and happier.

		Rich hypochondriac Mrs Upjohn (Dumont) swears he's the best doctor in all of Florida, little suspecting that Hackenbush is a horse doctor with some dubious ideas about medicine ("Either he's dead or my watch has stopped," he says, taking a pulse).
		A mixed bag of comedy routines, song and dance numbers, and a plot that just seems to go on and on like one of Groucho's cigars, "A Day at the Races" is typical of the kind of watered-down anarchy that MGM forced upon the threesome.
