In fact, "ANatO" is said to be Groucho's favorite he even called his previous films "duds"! The film is filled with jabs at the upper class and double entendres courtesy of Groucho. To those purists, I say: Lighten up! "ANatO" is just as funny as anything the Marx Bros did in the past (heck, I think it's funnier than "Monkey Business"), and it's withstood the test of time perfectly. Also, it's not as surreal or satirical as their past films. For one thing, instead of ridiculing romantic couples (the love story subplot plays a big part), they support them. Some Marx-purists complain "ANatO" is when the brothers started to grow soft and their quality started to decline.
No doubt that "A Night at the Opera" is right up there with "Duck Soup" as the best Marx Brothers movie.
