Horse Feathers [DVD]

All the humor of the Marx Brothers, Groucho, Harpo, Chico and -yes!- Zeppo reach the peak of their madness in this anarchic parody of university life.
Played as the joker principal of Huxley College. Groucho tries to keep the students in line, while also staying close to the flirtatious Flozie (Thelma Todd), who is secretly trying to fix Huxley's football match between his eternal rival, the University of Darwin.
Leaving aside the plot - as the film itself often does - Horse Feathers contains some of the best sequences in the history of musical comedy, such as the classic exchange of niceties between Groucho and the students Harpo and Chico and the unforgettable final match. The versions offered by each of the brothers of Everyone Says I Love You and a sequence in a clandestine gambling den that will burn into our memory the meaning of the word "swordfish" are also true gems. The fourth, and perhaps the funniest of the Marx Brothers films, has a script by SJ Perelman, songs by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby (including Groucho's song, I'm Against It) and is directed by the great Norman McLeod.
