The Big Store Overview:
The Big Store (1941) was a Comedy - Musical Film directed by Charles Reisner and produced by Louis K. Sidney.
SYNOPSIS
Groucho, Harpo, and Chico turn a big department store upside down as New York detectives trying to foil the hostile takeover of a department store and prevent a murder. Pretty late in the day for the Marxes, this was the final film in which Groucho, Harpo, and Chico appeared together - but there's still lots of fun watching the Brothers turn the emporium into their own private playground.
