All trace of reason and logic are joyfully cast aside in this wild comedy starring the much-loved 30s comics the Marx Brothers. The story begins when the totally unqualified Rufus T Firefly becomes dictator of the shambolic country of Freedonia, and is soon involved in a senseless war with next-door Sylvania - but the plot is barely relevant in a film this hilarious, where all that really matters is the constant barrage of madcap jokes that stars Groucho, Harpo and Chico joyfully deliver!

    Duck Soup

    Although I heard it was a classic, my thoughts secretly when I heard we were watching an old black and white film were 'oh no!'. But after watching Duck Soup my opinion completely changed! I was taken aback at how well the film makers and director (Leo McCarey) had made the film. From the date it was made, there were no 'special effects' so they had to actually do everything! The Marz brothers were brilliant in this comerdy.
    The length the film ran was timed wel(1 hour) not too long .

    Duck Soup is unlike anything that I have seen before, because it was a black and white film, my expectations weren't high. This film is very funny, especially as I wasn't expecting any comedy at all. I think the story its self is quite strange but beliveable, because a very funny man is elected to be the ambassador and loads of other characters used slapstick and a few one-liners to make the entire film a laugh-out-loud spectacular! Because this film was filmed in the 1930s there is no special effects and I don't think there wouldn't any room for them. I absolutely loved the film because everything was so unexpected. If you have not seen this film and looking for a good laugh then this is the film for you.
