" BackgroundA Day at the Races(1937) is a classic Marx Brothers comedy (the rio""s 7th film), and their second film for MGM followingA Night at the Opera (1935)).Debra observed, in voice-over, that there were so many zombies, "there weren""t enough bullets to stop them all.She learned hat Myers had escaped and was targeting her - and she asked: "Why me?"While Garrett was outside checking the disconnected phone system, he was clobbered on the top of his head with a claw hammer(# 3 death)in the hospital""s store room (where he had found numerous open locks).Gorman found employment in the Data Processing Center of Webscoe Industries, where he complained about the deductions from his first paycheck, and with a co-worker discussed how fractions of a cent were left-over every time (they pondered: "What happens to all those half-cents?").Originally, it was to have been directed by Ernst Lubitsch.The film was devoid of any Academy Award nominations.The outrageous film was both a critical and commercial failure at the time of its release - audiences were taken aback by such preposterous political disrespect, buffoonery and cynicism at a time of political and economic crisis, with Roosevelt""s struggle against Depression in the US amidst the rising power of Hitler in Germany.
