Talk:Room Service (1938 film)

POV

Sorry, but much of the article makes certain claims that appear, to me at least, to break the neutral point of view that one needs to follow when editing articles. Such as "the material did not suit the brothers" and "the funniest seen in the film..." and the like. I hope that such, er, suggestive remarks can be revised. ---Posted by JS on March 28, 2007

Is Gummo in his film?

Gummo Marx, of course, was the fifth Marx brother who started out with them in vaudeville, but had left the act by the time they got into the movies (he was older than Zeppo but younger than Groucho). I watched "Room Service" on AMC years ago, and I seem to remember the person introducing it saying that Gummo had a small role in this film, and that it was the only Marx Brothers film in which he appeared. Is that true or is my memory off?97.73.64.160 (talk) 17:26, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

There was a well-regarded Off-Broadway revival of the show in 2006-2007 that had the play's ORIGINAL ending. Wagner's superior officer is in the opening night audience and he loves the play and becomes one of its backers. Wagner doesn't dare open his mouth about what's been going on. The film comes up with a much more exciting ending--it is only fitting t hat Groucho be the "mastermind" that gets them free and clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.23.5.10 (talk) 14:23, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
