1933 • The Marx Brothers
• Introduced by Robert S. Bader, author of Zeppo the Reluctant Marx Brother • “Duck soup” was American slang which meant something easy to do. In this
madcap political satire, Groucho Marx stars as the wildly incompetent leader
of Freedonia, a fictional country on the brink of war. With his brothers by
his side, chaos and hilarity ensue as they bumble their way through absurd
situations, quick-fire gags, and brilliant wordplay. Duck Soup is widely
regarded as the Marx Brothers at their finest, delivering nonstop laughs and
sharp satire that remains as fresh and funny as ever.
