Review of The Cocoanuts (1929) by Joe H — 22 Sep 2009
The timing is way off, obviously meant for the stage with lots of awkward pauses for laughs. Several song and dance routines bring things to a halt, and the musical bits from Chico and Harpo are superfluous (then again, aren't they always?).
But there's some great bits of comedy in there, including the famous "why a duck?" routine and the auction scene.
