Never miss a Marx Brothers movie. I'm glad you posted this clip, Ms Abbott.
Just think how long it took them to time it so perfectly. All those years of touring on the vaudeville circuit finally paid off!
Ah, the Marx brothers! I love it, Patti! Such brilliant wit. Or maybe it's because I'm a linguist and I love the way they use language.
One of the greatest movies ever made. As writers, let's remember they performed their acts on stage a thousand times before they made their movies. Practice, revise, learn...
Good point. Although apparently Lucille Ball learned it in a week.
Brilliant. Thanks.
I was going to mention Lucy doing the scene with Harpo, which we watched again recently. DUCK SOUP is definitely one of my favorite Marx Brothers movies, probably my favorite.
