I had to watch Duck Soup twice just to make sure that I didn't miss anything and I still don't know if I missed anything. The jokes just never stop. I especially like the physical comedy when Chico and Harpo impersonate Groucho. When the brothers are pretending that they are in the mirror, it is incredible how much they look alike and can mimic the actions of each other so well. It is true that by the time that Duck Soup was made, the Marx Brothers were experienced playing their characters and audiences could mimic their antics with great precision. The War Song is just too much!!
Margaret Dumont's overly dramatic performance is too funny as well. You don't see leading ladies like that anymore!
