Overview

In the 1933 Marx Brothers classic Duck Soup, the mythical country of Freedonia is broke and on the verge of revolution. Mrs. Teasdale Margaret Dumont, Freedonia's principal benefactress, will lend the country $20 million if the president withdraws and places the government in the hands of the "fearless, progressive" Rufus T. Firefly Groucho Marx. At his inauguration, Firefly shows up late, insults everyone in sight, and sings a song about how he intends to abuse his power. Naturally, the crowd cheers wildly. Meanwhile, Ambassador Trentino Louis Calhern of neighboring Sylvania schemes to oust Firefly and take over Freedonia himself. To gather enough evidence to discredit Firefly, he sends his most trusted spies, Chicolini Chico Marx and Pinky Harpo Marx. Five minutes after they show up in Freedonia, both spies become important members of Firefly's cabinet, though Chicolini keeps his day job as a peanut vendor. Firefly eventually declares war on Sylvania, an absurd farrago with Firefly changing uniforms from scene to scene, Chicolini going to the other side because the food is better, and Pinky parading around the battlefield with a sandwich board reading "Join the Army and See the Navy."

Special Features

Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble
The Marx Brothers Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and Zeppo were already Broadway musical-comedy stars when Hollywood came calling at the dawn of the sound era, and their patented brand of anarchic comedy translated well to the “talkies.” This new box set collects all five feature films made by the madcap brothers for Paramount in the early Depression years. Unlike some comics, who required years to develop a distinctive screen presence, the quartet made the leap from stage to film with their personas fully formed: Groucho was already the wisecracking opportunist, Chico the always-scheming trickster, Harpo the eye-rolling skirt-chaser, and Zeppo the dull-witted straight man. Whatever their character names or the setting of the films, they always played the same lovable lunatics. The Cocoanuts 1929, a fairly literal translation of the brothers' mid-‘20s stage sensation, reflects its early-talkie origins: the film feels stage-bound, and its crudely interpolated production numbers are performed live, with on-the-set musical accompaniment as was the fashion in late-‘20s movie musicals. But the boys are more than equal to the challenge posed by this new medium, and Groucho and Chico perform their classic “why a duck” routine with brio. Animal Crackers 1930, another stage adaptation, introduces Groucho’s theme song, “Hooray for Captain Spaulding,” and spotlights popular torch singer Lillian Roth. The brothers portray stowaways aboard an ocean liner Monkey Business 1931, a more cinematic film than its predecessors, thanks to rapid advances in sound technology. It gave Groucho a delightful comic foil in sexy Thelma Todd, who returned opposite the foursome in Horse Feathers 1932, a spoof of the then-popular college pictures. Like the others of its type, Horse Feathers climaxes with a big football game, which Harpo and Chico turn into a surrealistic free-for-all. This is a rapid-fire outing that gives the boys some of their best routines to date, and it’s surpassed only by Duck Soup 1933, the last and best of the Paramount quintet. Set in the mythical country of Freedonia, it’s a riotous political spoof starring Groucho as the world’s most inept chief executive, with Chico and Harpo playing knuckleheaded spies who double-cross their boss, would-be dictator Louis Calhern. The gags fly fast and furious, and the brothers’ trademark musical interludes are particularly good. Although the five Paramounts are loaded with topical references -- you really have to be familiar with Depression-era politics and pop culture to get them all -- they’re still delightful. More freewheeling than the Marxes’ later movies for MGM, which were saddled with more rigid plots and sappy romantic subplots, these films are bona-fide comedy classics that can be watched over and over again.

    FUNNIEST PEOPLE TO LIVE!!!

    The Marx Brothers film career together lasted from 1929 (The Cocoanuts) to 1946 (A Night In Casablanca) with laughter in between! These five movies all have Zeppo in it, but after Duck Soup (1933) he retired. Whether you are a Marx Brother fan or you're just looking for laughter, this is the set for you. This comedy team will have you laughing practically all the time. The jokes keep coming and coming they never slow down. So if you want classic comedy, this set is for you.

    Classic Insanity

    The Marx Brothers says it all. Classic performances, very good transfers from film, very good sound. Watch Margaret Dumont (as Groucho's foil) force herself not to burst out laughing as Groucho delivers some of his classic lines.

    Just ponder this little classic between Groucho and Chico:

    Hammer: "Now here is a little peninsula and here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland."
    Chico: "Why a duck?"

    It goes on like that for several minutes.

    You will laugh and remember when the cinema was a source of entertainment.

    Marx Brothers at their best

    The headline pretty much says it all. I don't think you need some long-winded review from a wanna be reviewer. Quite simply you either like them or you don't. If you do then this is a great collection to have, if you don't, then why you even looking at it? If you want some good clean classic comedy done the way it should be done then this is it. If you want what passes for comedy now, sex, cursing, nudity, then take a pass on this. You want to see how comedy should be done, and if people were smart, could still be done, then this is it.

    America's Greatest Comedians

    Assuming the reader of this review is familiar with the Marx Brothers, these transfers are good. HORSEFEATHERS still has a lot of frames missing from the ice-block scene, but that's been the case for as long as I can remember, and I first saw it on TV in 1973. Those frames are probably lost forever. These are hilarious movies, but you know that, and, if you're like me, you find these funnier than the M-G-M ones. If you have never seen a Marx Brothers movie, imagine Jon Stewart and his gang, but it's nineteen-thirty or so, and the politics is somewhat disguised. I will say this: As free-wheeling and, let's face it, violent, as Marx Brothers humor is, it is not anarchic. It's hilarious, sharp and knowing. But the Marx Brothers weren't looking to overthrow society. In fact, one reason they were so great is they APPEALED to pillars of the community. The Algonquin Round Table welcomed the Marx Brothers with open arms.

    Say the secret word ...

    Well, ladies and gentlemen, wait no longer as this is the quintesential, must have collection of our favorite brother's films. The five films included here are the brothers marx at the top of their game. The verbal exchanges between them are hilarious. You'll have to see them again and again to catch all of Groucho's quick quips. Look no further - buy it and start laughing.

    Witty, Witty Humor!

    The Marx Brothers never cease to entertain with their intellectual humor, slapstick antics and real tricks. No special effects here, just extra-special comedic scenes. The Marx Brothers are the perfect antecdote for anyone who needs a diversion, cheering up, and a laugh out loud. Add Gummo and you have the original Fab Five!
