This American musical comedy was directed by David Miller, and produced by Lester Cowan and the silent star Mary Pickford (uncredited). It stars the Marx Brothers (Groucho, Harpo and Chico) in their 13th and final feature film, together with Ilona Massey, Vera-Ellen, Marion Hutton, Raymond Burr, Paul Valentine, Eric Blore and Bruce Gordon (in his film debut), Marilyn Monroe, a relatively unknown actress at the time, has a cameo appearance.
This zany adventure is about a struggling theatre troupe that unknowingly becomes involved with a stolen diamond heist. As they prepare for their big show, Harpo, Chico, and Groucho get caught up in a crazy chase involving gangsters, hidden jewels and plenty of their trademark madcap humour.
