Starring the Marx Brothers, the film begins with a pretty young
lady who owns a sanitarium near a racetrack. In danger of closing, she brings
in a new doctor named Hackenbush (who specializes in horses) and at the same
time her love buys a race horse. A powerful man wants the place closed down so
he can build a casino and he is in cahoots with the financial adviser a wily
woman, and the police. However, wanting to help the two lovebirds out, Groucho,
Chico, and Harpo lend a wild helping hand. It all culminates with an uproarious
Day at the Races. This film is full of funny moments such as the code book sequence,
the dinner and wall papering scene, the medical exam, and of course the final
race. I felt that a lot of the music was an unnecessary added feature.4/5 Stars
