He operates with his "seven score" (140 strong) group of fellow outlawed yeomen ��� named the Merry Men, meaning "companion or follower of [an]... outlaw," who were based in hideouts in Sherwood Forest and Barnsdale Forest near the city of Nottingham. The chief nemesis of the Merry Men is the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham
who is overtaxing the people into poverty.Information drawn from Wikipedia.USA, 1938, 102 min.

A Night at the Opera

A NIGHT AT THE OPERA

The Marx Brothers take on high society. Two lovers who are both opera singers are prevented from being together by the man's lack of acceptance as an operatic tenor. Pulling several typical Marx Brothers' stunts, they arrange for the normal tenor to be absent so that the young lover can get his chance while humiliating his stuffy and snobbish enemies. The film contains some of the brothers' funniest routines. These were honed on stage, as the brothers returned to touring new material on the road before filming began. Summary written from material by John Vogel and Wikipedia. USA, 1935, 96 min.
