The cinematography was fabulous, the pace was fast moving, the screenplay was inventive... read more

View all A Night at the Opera reviews

Release date: 15 November 1935

The cinematography was fabulous, the pace was fast moving, the screenplay was inventive and phenomenally witty, and the plot is effective enough without being contrived.

"Re-watch - Jan. 26th Of course the answer to her question was, "Yes, I have all of them." And then she insisted we watch one more, so I put on A Night at the Opera for us. And she loved it about as much as Animal Crackers, so I suspect we'll be watching more of their films as the year rolls along. You'll hear no complaints from me."
