If Any Form Of Pleasure Is Exhibited
Report to me and it will be prohibited!
I'll put my foot down! So shall it be!
This is the land of the free!
-- as sung by Groucho, during the opening musical number in Duck Soup
I was working on an upcoming entry for the political blog, and stumbled upon the fact that the zenith of Marx Bros. mad-cappery known as Duck Soup turns 75 during the month of November. (Weekend America's segment on this event embedded below.)
Must have a late viewing this weekend.

Probably my favorite Marx Bros. movie (with "A Night At The Opera" and "The Coconuts" running neck-and-neck for second place) - and yes, the social and political satire still hits the proverbial comic bulls-eye.
Hm, may have to pull out my old VHS copy myself soonish...
Ugh. The Marx Brothers? Give me the guys who did Disaster Movie! Now THAT'S comedy.
