‘I had a perfectly pleasant evening but this wasn’t it.’
Practically every Marx Brother film is filled with constant wisecracks and one-liners but none are as sophisticated, satirical and cleverly portrayed as in Duck Soup, their much acclaimed comic masterpiece. The well developed structure of the film and consistent development of characters and story give this Marx Brother film a certain quality lacking in their other humorous outings and seems to have remained the most fresh out of the bunch too. For it still to remain so poignant, fresh and funny almost seventy years after its release is testament to the quality of the film and its makers.
Defining Moment: The final battle sequence which brilliantly satirises people’s perceptions and outlook on war whilst providing some hilarious visual moments.
