The Marx Brothers Starring In
Duck Soup (1933)
Starring: Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, Harpo Marx, Zeppo Marx
Runtime: 68 minutes
In this 1933 Marx Brothers
film, 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 dollars 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."
