He tries to find his two studs-for-hire in a speakeasy rather than an Oklahoma car dealership, but in a case of mistaken identity he ends up with Harpo and Chico. Hilarity, of course, soon ensues. Anyone familiar with the super-PC state of the modern university will appreciate Groucho's big number, Whatever It Is, I'm Against It. Football fans who appreciate history but don't need sound should also catch Harold Lloyd's silent The Freshman (1925), the precursor to every underdog-makes-good sports movie in which the water boy miraculously stars in the Big Game.
