I attended a sneak screening of it and, at the end, I remember one middle-aged guy in the theater resting his arms, looking at the screen, tears down his face, absolutely wrecked.
Rewatched SPANGLISH and despite or indeed perhaps because of its deeply confounding combination of Brooksian idiosyncrasy, mostly accidental but truly blinkered privilege, and real sincerity, I kind of loved it.

I always thought it was genius that, in the Marx Brothers’ zany cinematic universe, Zeppo was often cast as the straight man/romantic lead/sane voice of reason — making him the oddest character of any Marx Bros. film.
Nine Marx Bros. movies are on TCM New Year’s Eve from 5:30am-8pm ET.
Six of the films aren’t on any subscription or ad-supported streaming service, so don’t miss out.

Music soothes, satirizes, and distracts in Robert Altman's sprawling epic Nashville
