One of the greatest comedies ever made

Rating: 9/10 (24 May 2001)

Duck Soup is called the funniest of the Marx brothers films. It was a flop when it was first released in the thirties, but found by liberal college students in the sixties. It remains as one of the great classics of comedy today. Non stop comedy through the whole film. Chico and Harpo with their slap-stick and visual humor, Graucho with his brilliant one liners that are dished out constantly, and of course the satirical musical sequences including the "We're going to War" sequence, which in my opinion, remains as one of the funniest scenes in cinema history, and one of the greatest musical scenes ever put on film. This must be seen by all film lovers.
