Review of Animal Crackers (1930) by Robert B — 08 Feb 2007
The first "real" Marx Brothers romp. The whole film is a mockery of high society and money powered heiresses. The subject most tackled in Animal Crackers is that of love. The y relationships between the lovers is made a joke of and at the same time the romance between Captain Spaulding and Mrs.
Rittenhouse is hilarious. The whole painting swapping thing is not a only a great routine comedy gold mine, but seems to add so much confusion that it almost becomes a mystery towards the approaching second half of the film.
Longer then most of their films, Animal Crackers is over an hour and half of pure, unadulterated craziness.
