Summary: Duck soup juggles logic as the established rules!
Review: This atmosphere zero film defies gravity and common sense . This sublime masterpiece is funny , innovative , ridiculous , outrageous , savage , silly and caustic . Notice the concept of humor had never been shown in this way . Four brothers each one with his own profile make it possible the corporeity of this symphony in gagtime orchestrated by one man and performed by a whole army .
Specially the ravishing presence of Zepp , who despite his straight character is perhaps the most important part of the team . He was an expert gagman (remember the mirror sequence ; the highest laughable sequence all along the film) and is so great so unforgettable that keeps in your mind so subreptitiously that becomes in very difficult issue to forget . Leo Mc Carey present the Marx Brothers in their best , purest and most consistent and imaginative work , which meant a real delivery of nonstop series of gags over this film breakneck seventy minutes . This humor derives from a set of cumulative effects never viewed before and expressed so originally , since his script sails on fantasy places issues such as invasions of the privacy , destruction of the property and underline the ridiculousness of the burocratic and clumsy behavior of the political status Q of this small country of Freedonia . Watch the script begins when Mrs Teasdale agrees to give this country twenty millions dollars to save it from the bankruptcy . So if you state the world in that age the metaphor is overclear .
Such unfolding of causticity will be restored seven years later by Charlot in the Great Dictator .
Watch that landmark film which in many senses may be considered one of the five masterpieces of this genre in all the american cinema story.

Summary: Duck Soup (1933)
Review: The Marx Brothers were the very much the forerunners of present-day comedians like Jim Carrey and Tom Green. This movie is loaded with crude humour and cheap laughs, but to my tastes, most of it just didn't seem funny.

Summary: Where is the Region 1 release?
Review: My two favorite comedies of all time are "Duck Soup" and "Airplane." Don't agree with "Airplane?" I have a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it!Anyway, few people will dispute that "Duck Soup" is one of the funniest movies ever made. So many classic lines and zany moments; this is the Marx Brothers at the peak of their powers. It was made in the 30's, but holds up extremely well. That makes it a timeless movie. Never boring or corny. I swear the whole hat gag has to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen. So... when can we expect a reissue on DVD, Paramount/Universal?
