Duck soup was the last film for paramount and there next films would be made with MGM where they created some of their most popular film A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races under the aegis of the legendary Irving Thalberg. At the time of its release the film was a flop and maybe like Chaplin’s The Great Dictator it was ahead of its time and maybe in comedy people did not want to be reminded of world war one or as was the case the upcoming war in Europe. It is easy to see why the films fly’s along at a great pace with quick gags and a story that helps tie it all togetherĮven after all these years the film is still fresh with gags that all audience can enjoy. Considered one of the best Marx brother’s films. Firefly taking over a mismanaged country and the plot by the slimy Trentino to oust him which eventually leads to war. The film duck soup revolves around crouch Marx as Rufus T. There are very witty one liners delivered perfectly by grouch Marx musical parody songs and even the slapstick is done very well with great running gags that have fantastic ay offs. But the truth about the Marx brother’s film duck soup is that there is all manner of comedy and not just slapstick.

But my only experience with the Marx brothers was the massive amount of parody’s and references.

I had seen small snippets of dialogue and quotes from Groucho Marx like” I don’t care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members”. In term of confession this is a serious one I have never ever seen a Marx brother films or seen their shorts.

In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked this as the #60 Greatest Movie of All Time. The Marx Brothers’ response was, “Change the name of your town, it’s hurting our picture.” Shortly before this film premiered, the city of Fredonia, New York, complained about the use of its name with an additional “e”. When news of this reached The Marx Brothers, they were reportedly ecstatic. Trivia: Italian dictator Benito Mussolini banned the film from Italy because he thought it was a direct attack on him.
