Groucho, Chico, Harpo - all certifiably wacko in a double dip of comedies. The Marxmen Go West (Side A) to where the sun always shines, the fun never sets and where they outwit a land grabber. Highlights include the $1 scam, the stagecoach ride, Chico and Harpo bellying up to the bar and the train-chase finale. What fools these mortals be and what fuels they need. The boys chop up passenger cars to get wood to stoke the locomotive. They go east in The Big Store (Side B), becoming detectives-cum-bodyguards for a department store. Crime is afoot in the store or, if in the Fabrics Department, by the yard. Still, our sleuths don't have a clue except in laughing matters. Chico and Harpo share a piano keyboard, beds disappear into walls, roller skates provide in-store mobility and Groucho warbles Sing While You Sell. Sold!

The Big Store
This is simply good family fun. My aunt, was one of the child instrumentalists (bassoon) in the movie. She is now 88 years old. My family (children and grandchildren) were amazed at the humor and action scenes and loved the complete story. My elementary school general music students are amazed at the piano quartet and duet.We could use more of this style, just silly fun - not so heavy on the sex scenes, in our movie going society. Thanks to Amazon for connecting me to the source so I could purchase the DVD.

Great Marx Brothers comedies!
I collect the movies of the Marx Brothers, and these are wonderful additions to my collection. Harpo's harp solo in "The Big Store" is matchless! The shenanigans in "Go West" are typical of the zany humor of these great comedians.

Classic Comedy!!!
Go West- I'm glad I watched 'A Night at the Opera' because that caused me to want to watch more Marx Brothers movies! Groucho is my favorite, because he's always hilarious in a stressful situation! Groucho plays an embezzler named S. Quentin Quale, who tries to rip off Joseph and Rusty Panello at the train station. Later, they all work together and stop a greedy rich man from building a town on an old man's land. The Marx Brothers help get the deed back and stop the bad guy. I love the awesome show-down on the train and how they tear up the entire framework for more firewood. If you love classic comedy, and The Marx Brothers, you'll love GO WEST!!!The Big Store- The Marx Brothers get better everytime I see them! Groucho plays out-of-work Detective Wolf J. Flywheel who has been hired to go to The Phelps Department Store and protect Tommy Rogers from being killed. Wolf gets help from Wacky and Ravelli. I thought it was awesome toward the end when they all go through the store on roller skates, trying to stop a bad guy from getting evidence that shows he's tring to kill Tommy. If you love classic comedy, and the Marx Brothers, you'll love THE BIG STORE!!!

Flawed disc
I bought a second-hand copy, but it was in perfect condition. No scratches at all. However, both sides (it's a 2 sided disc) had a flaw that caused my player to freeze up. Perhaps it was the layer change. The movies are great. I didn't pay much so it's not worth returning them.

Got to love the Marx Brothers.
Classic comedy. Even our 20 yr old son finds their Wit and one liners great enough to repeat to friends.

Not the best of the Marx Brothers films
Not the best of the Marx Brothers films, but still worth having with a few wonderful scenes in each film.

classic marx brothers
a double feature - Chico, Harpo & Groucho - the three marx brothers with guest stars - not as great as A Day at the Races or A Night at the Opera, but still classic Marx humour.

OK double feature
These are not the Marx Brothers best films by any stretch. Go West is easily the best of the two films here. The Big Store is just putrid. I'm giving this 3 stars just because of Go West which has some decent gags and a great ending.
