''Monkey Business'' is a 1931 American Pre-Code comedy film.〔''Harrison's Reports'' film review; October 17, 1931, page 167.〕 It is the third of the Marx Brothers' released movies, and the first not to be an adaptation of one of their Broadway shows. The film also stars comedienne Thelma Todd. It is directed by Norman Z. McLeod with screenplay by S. J. Perelman and Will B. Johnstone. The story takes place in large part on an ocean liner crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
==Outline== On board a ship to America, four stowaways get involuntarily pressed into service as toughs for a pair of feuding gangsters while trying desperately to evade the ship's crew.〔(''Monkey Business'' trivia at the Internet Movie Database. )〕 Prior to this, the film has no real plot, just the brothers causing unending uproar. Except in the credits and in the screenplay, the Brothers' characters have no names in this film. They are referred to simply as "the stowaways". After arriving stateside one of the gangsters kidnaps the other's daughter, leaving it up to the brothers to save the day.〔(Plot summary of ''Monkey Business'' at the Internet Movie Database )〕 Two famous scenes include all four brothers trying to sneak through a passenger checkpoint by pretending to be Maurice Chevalier, and Harpo's attempt to hide from the authorities by posing as a puppet in a Punch and Judy children's show.〔(Review of ''The Marx Brothers Silver Screen Collection'' )〕
