Why a Duck?

I have been a fan of the Marx Brothers for years. Their comedy is one that they began back in the age of Vaudville, and it took off like a rocket. Duck Soup is credited as being the finest Marx Brothers movie ever released. It is one of their earlier movies as Zeppo Marx is still playing the straight man for their routines.
Margaret Dumont (considered by many to be the 5th Marx Brother.. even though she's not a Marx, and is a woman) once again offers an amazing performance as Mrs. Gloria Teasdale the wealthy widow that Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho) is trying to impress.
If you like old time slapstick style comedy, then Duck Soup is one for the collection.
