Anecdotes:

Early in the movie, the Marx Brothers - playing stowaways concealed in barrels - harmonize unseen while performing the popular song 'Sweet Adeline.' It is debated whether Harpo was actually singing or not.

Goofs:

Continuité: Groucho's position on the bed changes, when he 'shysters' a shyster layer.

Guillemet:

Groucho: Oh, engineer? Will you tell them to stop the boat from rocking, I'm going to have lunch.

Marx brothers madness continues

The Marx brothers are on an intercontinental voyage in this film which offers more than one hilarious moment. My favorite scene involved the four brothers doing their impressions of Maurice Chevalier at customs -- one after the other!
