Monkey Business
ComedyFamilyMusical77 min
Four stowaways sneak aboard an ocean liner and turn the voyage into a running battle with the crew, the passengers, and each other. As they dodge discovery, they bluff their way through fancy dinners, crowded cabins, and one close call after another, using disguises, wisecracks, and sheer nerve to stay afloat. The ship’s troubles grow when two rival gangsters set their sights on a woman traveling with her father, and the brothers are pulled into the middle of the feud. What starts as a scramble to avoid the brig keeps swelling into chases, mix-ups, and sabotage all over the ship, with Groucho Marx and Harpo Marx helping drive the chaos.
