it be not always certain that by mix comedian together you will produce laughter . the comic involve have to actually like or admire each other and or be willing to put up with each other crankiness . go west with the marx brother have buster keaton write the script a a gag man . groucho do not think too highly of keaton idea and and embarrass him at a script meeting . and though some of keaton gem still appear in the finish film ( such a the gun that turn into a brush that turn into a gun ) the film be one of the weak the marx brother ever make . a good film and but also affect by duel comic ego and be w. c. field and mae west in my little chickadee and which jettison the script for a series of duel of one liner between the lead . but the one liner be equally funny and so the film remain a success . but six of a kind be an example of six film comic who work well together . the reason be simple represent it be really three comic team work together represent charlie ruggles and mary boland and george burn and gracie allan and and w. c. field and alison skipworth . ruggles and boland be pair in about half a dozen comedy during the 1930s and usually with boland a a somewhat bossy wife and and ruggles a a nervous wreck of a husband . field ( usually a single act ) be pair three time with skipworth ( tilly and gus and if i have a million be the other two time ) . skippy always figure out how to control or counter the larcenous activity of her man it the present film she take action into her own hand with the steal money that be be search for ( she know that the local sheriff and field and be not the one to trust with this ) . a for burn and allan they manage to effortlessly involve themselves with the put upon ruggles and boland on their cross country trip by car . ruggles quickly get to realize what a mistake it be to agree to travel with gracie at one point she manage to cause him to fall off a cliff and and dangle from a branch . he be relatively helpless when she insist on 1 ) photograph him on his perch and and 2 ) correct his grammar . the presence of george and gracie humongous dog ( ran tang tang be it name ) do not make travel arrangement easier for charlie and mary . field have some choice moment . when he insist on shout at the quartet and he say he allow to do so he the sheriff . he also explain and during a pool game and the improbable story of how he get his undeserved moniker honest john . you have to listen carefully to the tale and a it be interrupt with his attempt to play pool a few time ( once get accidentally bean by a billiard ball ) and but it do show that there be item that even field would have have no reason to steal . oh and in the summary line and i mention a forgotten actor name bradley page he be the man who be responsible for the trouble that charley ruggles be suspect of . bradley have to have a reason to leave town in order to catch up with the unwary ruggles and boland and so he telephone his girl friend . he tell her to call back his job and say that he have to leave town because somebody have die . there be a pause a he apparently hear a question shot back by the girlfriend . anybody . and he say clearly annoy . although the bulk of the humor in the film be carry by the sextet of performer and mr. page happen to have the most amusingly unexpected line in the film .
