Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Relatively late, and therefore far from great, Marxian mania, in which Groucho, Chico and Harpo find themselves victims both to a West they can barely hoodwink or subvert, and to a script which is only spasmodically funny. That said, it starts well enough, with Harpo and Chico gleefully outwitting Groucho's attempts to fleece them of ten dollars; and the final, frantic train chase climax - while falling dismally short of Keaton's The General - has its (admittedly slapsticky) moments.
