The scene below is from the Marx Brothers 1935 film A Night At The Opera, which has a plot too convoluted to explain in a few sentences but is really funny. This is partly because it was co-written by one of my favorites, George S. Kaufman, and partly because the Marx brothers are always amusing. In this scene they infiltrate the New York Opera and chaos ensues, only a bit of which is shown in this clip. Otis Driftwood (Groucho), called upon to open the opera with a few impromptu remarks, lets loose: "Let joy be unconfined. Let there be dancing in the street, drinking in the saloon, and necking in the parlor."
