Marx Brothers - Duck Soup, Part Two

Wonderful, wonderful stuff. I watched the whole ten minute section with the sound turned down and still really enjoyed it. Take the first two minutes and marvel at Groucho gliding around as if he is on castors. Then Harpo and Chico’s bizarre entrance at 3:47 and the subsequent great scene where they behave like the world’s naughtiest children.

Sad to hear that the Marx Brother’s historic childhood home is under threat.
