    moviesinframes: A Night at the Opera, 1935 (dir. Sam Wood) By SunnydaZe Groucho> “Is it my imagination, or is it getting crowded in here?” “At the suggestion of producer Irving Thalberg, the film marked a change of direction in the brothers’ career. In their Paramount films, the brothers’ characters were much more anarchic: they attacked anybody who was so unfortunate to cross their paths whether they deserved it or not, albeit comically. Thalberg, however, felt that this made the brothers unsympathetic, particularly to female filmgoers. So in the MGM films, the brothers were recast as more helpful characters, saving their comic attacks for the villains.” - Night at the Opera Wikipedia Page
