Marx Brothers, Duck Soup, Part 4
February 8, 2009, admin
The first half of the clip features the enigma that is Zeppo. Opinion is divided as to whether he is an entirely superfluous member of the brothers or an entirely necessary everyman that allows the audience to connect with the madness of the other three. Off-screen, Zeppo was apparently a bit of a wag, even perhaps, the funniest of the brothers. He just never developed a comic persona.
