1931 Norman Z. McLeod. 1.33:1 B&W DCP 77 min.
The Marx Brothers are stowaways on an ocean liner, where Groucho and Zeppo (on the one hand) and Chico and Harpo (on the other) get involved with rival gangs and a kidnapping. This 1931 comedy was the first of their films to be written for the screen (The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers had been successful Marx vehicles onstage), and the first of two with contributions by S.J. Perelman. A bit disorganized, it carries hints of surrealism (especially in Harpo’s extraordinary performance) that later flowered in Duck So -Don Druker, Chicago Reader
DUCK SOUP
1933 Leo McCarey 1.33:1 B&W DCP 69 min.
The Marx Brothers’ best movie (1933) and, not coincidentally, the one with the strongest director—Leo McCarey, who had the flexibility to give the boys their head and the discipline to make some formal sense of it. Groucho is Rufus T. Firefly, brought in by Margaret Dumont to restore order to the crumbling country of Freedonia; his competition consists of two bumbling spies, Chico and Harpo, sent in by the failed Shakespearean actor (Louis Calhern) who runs the country next door. The antiwar satire is dark, trenchant, and typical of Paramount’s liberal orientation at the time. -Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
