Review of Horse Feathers (1932) by Donald W — 03 Feb 2015
This movie was a typical Marx Brothers movie. The only plot is to win a college football game. Groucho is made the President of a fictional university where is son played by Zeppo Marx is a professional student whose been going to college for 12 years.
It's a spoof of university life and college football during the leather helmet era. Groucho tries to pay a couple of pro players to play on his team as ringers. When he goes to a speak-easy to meet the players he mistakes Chico and Harpo as the ringer players.
The interesting part of the movie is the fake football game at the end of the movie. They are all dressed in 1930's era football uniforms and make a joke out the sport with the comedy skits in the form of football plays.
Before the comedy scenes there is some stock footage of a real football game.
