DUCK SOUP may be the most beloved of all Marx Brothers films. Thanks to the patronage of well-heeled widow, Groucho becomes dictator of the tiny country of Freedonia. But a misunderstanding with the ambassador of a bordering nation leads to war. The Marx Brothers are at their sidesplitting best in this raucous political satire, in which Chico, Harpo and Zeppo co-star as spies and counterspies.
1933 – 1 hr 8 min – USA – b/w – 35mm – Paramount – d: Leo McCarey – w/ The Marx Brothers
