He introduces her to Hermann Gottleib (Rumann) the head of the opera company who convinces her that she'll be the toast of New York since they'll be hiring the celebrated Italian opera singer Rodolpho Lassparri (King) for the new season with her cash.
Meanwhile, Tomasso (Harpo) is being harassed and fired by the overbearing Lassparri and Fiorello (Chico) is trying to think of a way to get his friend Ricardo (Jones), a wonderful, yet unknown tenor, into the limelight.

The film is marred by rather pedestrian direction and the fact that the script is strained and often silly, but the cast and the score make it fine, undemanding entertainment.
Description: In this upbeat musical directed by Walter Lang and featuring music penned by Irving Berlin, Ethel Merman shines as Sally Adams, an American ambassador to a fictional post-war European city.
Proving that she was one of the screen's most electrifying presences, Merman helps to make Call Me Madam one of the genre's most celebrated pictures.

 Laurel & Hardy Filmography - Page 7
Stan and Ollie become mouse trap salesmen in Switzerland, the premise being that the country with the most cheese is the one where it'll be easiest to sell mouse traps.
Once the couple's problems are introduced, Swiss Miss forks off and becomes two movies, one of them (the one about the bickering husband and wife, played by Della Lind and Walter Woolf King) almost painfully boring.
Had both elements been handled as well as they were in the Marx Brothers's A Night at the Opera (in which King played the villain, not the romantic lead), Hal might have been right.

The setting is appropriate for the Marx Brothers' most popular movie, a farce pitched to such grandiose comic heights it's almost operatic.
As ever, Groucho plays a scheming wise guy who, when he isn't busy hustling dowager Margaret Dumont, teams with foils/accomplices Chico and Harpo to take the piss out of a pompous opera impresario (the great Sig Rumann) and an imperious tenor (Walter Woolf King).
The reason for all the shenanigans--to get comely singing lovebirds Allan Jones and Kitty Carlisle to center stage--barely matters amid the clatter and chatter of classic Marxism, a blizzard of sight gags (including the still dizzyingly funny stateroom scene), barely contained destruction (courtesy force-of-nature Harpo), and absurdist repartee.
