There are Marx Brothers Classics out there and Go West isn’t one of them, although longtime afficionados who must have read negative reviews of their latter films somewhere along the procedure, might be very surprised at the number of clever, successful gags, and energetic performances by the comedy legends.
The somewhat complicated place (feature comedies in the ’40s were astronomical on plots with abominable guys and young lovers who are threatened by them and peep the aide of the starring comedy team) animated the search for gold, land deeds, contemptible sheriffs, and a few other things, actually involves the stars (they’re not aged as “comical relief”, a typical contrivance of the times) .

The jam is that the gracious stuff sometimes over-milked, for example, the climactic scene of the Marxs’ attempt to retain the jabber chugging by breaking up the drawl into shrimp pieces and tossing them into the engine, needed a strong comedy director and editor to hold it from getting unimaginative.
There’s an animated musical number approach the kill of the film in which Groucho sings and plays guitar - always fun for the fans. Unlike the scene in “Horse Feathers” in which Groucho sings and plays for Thelma Todd, unfortunately the booming baritone of John Carroll is also heard, along with Chico, and a expansive chance is lost. Okay, Carroll is the glowing co-lead (? ) but the credits list GM first, and let’s purchase that most fans paid to recognize Mr. Marx. [Speaking of production numbers, in the 1947 “Copacabana” with Groucho, at center stage he performs a number originally written for Go West!].
Of course, there are depressing aspects to this film, which can be expected for the period - a sequence in which the boys and the lovers finish off on the paddle on a Native American “reservation”, and, hence, the stereotypically cliched dialogue and situations. However, something miraculous happens, Harpo happens upon a stringed object, transforms it into a harp and plays in duet with the “Chief”, who plays a woodwind instrument - it’s actually a immense scene, which fades with the latter placing his hand gently on Harpo’s shoulder. One of those rare, touching moments; the brothers were quite friendly of injecting pathos into the proceedings when the moment was good.
The Tremendous Store is contemporary - this time the Marxs’ attend the lovers sustain a spacious department store, despite tentative credentials as store detectives. Here’s another one which has some great bits and pieces, contrary to the generaln consensus of film critics. We don’t have over-milked gags as powerful as one lost opportunity after another; some of that disappointment actually due to the fact that surreal comedy was really a thing of the past by 1941. For example, in The Immense Store we pick up Groucho asleep in the bed department. The finish is ruined by one of the supporting actors prefacing the scene with mention that Mr. Flywheel was up all night examining the books and it was okay for him to sleep there. Another scene has Harpo dressed in Revolutionary War era attire and playing the harp in duet with himself - a beautifully crafted scene. But, alas, it was in his imagination.

Margaret Dumont is on hand and she’s always a pleasure to observe - she’s given some decent dialogue in a typically wild courtship scene with you know who.
Both Go West and The Tremendous Store have plenty of music, and that’s not a negative, as they successfully showcase the performing talents of the Marxes. It’s really fantastic to brand that they could originate all kinds of comedy, plus play classical music quite impressively, even kick up their heels - Flywheel’s dance moves are absolutely balletic in the otherwiseoverdrawn, impossible “Utter While You Sell” number. The viewer/fan can design up his/her mind with both entries as to whether they’re watching a musical comedy, a comedy with music, a comedy, or….the Marx Brothers. For deep fans there will be a plethora of coulda-shoulda(s) - both features are in a completely different cosmos from “Duck Soup”. DVD Extra Features are fascinating for both fan and historian, including an apparent radio promo/sketch for Go West.
“Go West” is unbiased awesome. The boys are as challenging as ever in it. The chemistry is there. The climax is one of their best. Up there with there with “Horse Feathers” in my objective belief.
“The Tall Store” isn’t as suitable. But there’s enough superior scenes to seperate it from the tiring, “Night in Casablanca”. And yes, the ending is classic.
This is an agreeable double feature disc.
