Duck Soup

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

Probably the best of the Marx Brothers movies that I've watched. A weird, exuberant joy, and I think better directed than the others. The director was Leo McCarey, who also made the really funny The Awful Truth with Cary Crant, so I'm thinking maybe I should seek out more of his movies. Both that I've seen a superior examples of comedy from an era that doesn't usually yield movies that make me laugh. That's got to count for something.
