Cinema Cram: Film 11: Cocoanuts (1929)

How this works

We will release a movie every ten days beginning with Birth of a Nation (1915) and then jumping to the 1920's where we will release one new movie for each year within the decade. Our goal is to work our way from the 20's to the present while gaining insight into the evolution of film. All the movies we choose will be available through Netflix. The basic idea is to build a community of like-minded film fans and connect them with a forum for discussion. Without futher ado...it's time to Cinema Cram!

Film 11: Cocoanuts (1929)

Netflix Summary: Groucho, Chico and Harpo -- the famed trio of siblings known collectively as the Marx Brothers -- star in their first big-screen comedy, backed by a score penned by the legendary Irving Berlin. Hilarity ensues as a hotel owner (Groucho Marx) launches a string of get-rich-quick schemes to bail out his bankrupt resort. And although he's aided by a pair of goofballs (Chico and Harpo), they mostly succeed in fouling things up.
