Duck Soup (1933)
**** (out of 4)
Groucho becomes leader of a country and declares war. This is the first of the older Marx Bros. films I've seen and I think I finally figured out why they're considered so great. I enjoyed a couple of the films from Warner's set but this one here was miles better than those. There's enough gags here for a dozen films and I think for the most part they're all hits. The gag with the tattoo on the chest was hysterical as was the scene in front of the broken mirror. Certainly one of the funniest films ever made.
