Review of Horse Feathers (1932) by Rachel D — 13 Nov 2007

Here's my favorite scene from the film.

Groucho knocks the door.

Chico: "What's the password? Here, I give you a clue...it's a type of fish.".

Groucho: "A haddock!".

Chico: "Hey, I got a hadac!".

Groucho: "What do you take for a hadac?".

Chico: "Usually aspirin. Now listen, you can't come in here unless you say swordfish!! So...what's the password?".

Groucho: "Hey, I know!! Is it swordfish!?".

Chico:"Hey you guess it good!".

Chico comes out, they shake hands, Groucho goes inside and shuts the door behind him, Chico is locked out. He knocks the door.

Groucho: "What's the password?".

Chico: "Ooh, you no fool me, it's swordfish!".

Groucho: "No I got tired of that, I've changed it.".

Chico: "Well then what is it?".

Groucho: "Gee I dunno, I'd better come out there with you.".

He comes out and closes the door, locking both of them out.
