In this movie there was a lot of sexual innuendos and overtones. Especially as Rupert Firefly and Trentino fight over Mrs.Teasdale, both obviously for political gain then actually love or attraction. Mrs. Teasdale trusts the dancer Vera Marcal, but Vera is actually working for Tremtino to help take over Freedonia. The intricacies for comedy, musical and espionage working together and very well done.

Duck Soup
Duck Soup showcases the talents of the Marx brothers. They each play off the other one so well and seamlessly. Zeppo is the perfect straight man to his brothers comedic performances. Harpo is extremely funny without saying a word. One of my favorite scenes was when Harpo answers the phone and uses his horns to "speak".

Hi Carla! What a crazy movie! I am glad I'm not the only one who found the two brothers annoying most of the time. Graucho is funny most of the time however!
