Description

dir. Leo McCarey// 1933 // 1 hr 10 min When Groucho, as president of the bankrupt nation of Freedonia, picks a fight with the ambassador of a neighboring country, absurdist militaristic mayhem ensues in what may be the funniest of the brothers’ films. Likely the best anti-war comedy of all time, Duck Soup is stripped-away-laugh-a-minute joke fest that's only gotten better with age.
