A Day at the Races

(1937)Directed by Sam Wood109 minComedy, Music
“Three Great Laff Stars ! . . . more gags and gals . . . more songs and dances !”

Judy Standish (Maureen O'Sullivan) has a failing sanitarium and a new head doctor, Hugo Z. Hackenbush (Groucho Marx), who turns out to be a veterinarian. Sam Wood sets him loose alongside Tony (Chico Marx) and Stuffy (Harpo Marx), and the three throw in with a temperamental racehorse owned by Judy's boyfriend, Gil (Allan Jones). If the horse doesn't win the big race, the sanitarium is gone.
