Review of Duck Soup (1933) by Jonah P — 25 May 2010
Duck Soup was the first Marx Brothers film I've seen and this may be one of the best. The main premise is Groucho is appointed prime minister of the fictional country Freedonia. It is basically a 72 minute skit. With Groucho, Harpo and Chico just making rapid fire jokes. Probably my favourite is Chico and Harpo constanly ganging up on that vendor. Of course some of the jokes are dated but IT'S OVER 75 YEARS OLD!!!!
Overall this was a really good film. I was also surprised to see that "Duck Soup" orginated the mirror scene. I encourage all of my readers (The both of you) to watch this movie.
85/100.
