Not many films can claim to have inspired the titles of two other films.  In this case it’s Woody Allen’s Everyone Says I Love You, which borrows the song of the same name as well… and Swordfish, the John Travolta/Hugh Jackman film, which fails completely to explain the reference in its title, but if you know Horse Feathers then you’ll know why ‘the password is Swordfish’.

This is surely the earliest Marx Brothers film that could genuinely be called classic: The Cocoanuts is primitive, Animal Crackers is only reasonable, and Monkey Business is splendid for about forty minutes but then tails off.  The brothers would reach their zenith with their next film, Duck Soup, the last they made for Paramount before moving onto MGM, and a bigger budget…

Year: 1932
