Product Description

Product Description

Those madcap masters of mayhem, the Marx Brothers, are at it again in this zany laughfest. When a valuable painting turns up missing at a party, Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo help find it--with outrageous results.

Amazon.com

This second Marx Brothers classic has Groucho playing Captain Spaulding (an inside joke pertaining to a renowned Hollywood drug pusher), whose song "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" became his signature anthem. Despite its staginess, it has some hilarious gags as the boys try to solve the mystery of a stolen painting among the high-society crowd. Some of the highlights include Groucho's African lecture about shooting an elephant in his pajamas, and a wacky card game between Harpo, Chico, and the always-gullible Margaret Dumont. The musical interludes here don't seem as awkward as in later films. It's really quite charming watching Chico and Harpo show off their graceful talents. --Bill Desowitz

5.0 out of 5 stars Good entry point to the Marx Brothers
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2007

I recently watched Marx Brothers movies because I was looking for a gift for a friend who had never seen them before, and was skeptical about whether he'd like them. This is the movie I chose. While I think Duck Soup is a better film, I thought the major musical review numbers might be off-putting. And Duck Soup does not have Chico at the piano or Harpo at the harp. This movie has many of their most classic routines, including the mirror sequence, which many first-time viewers will be familiar with from the "I Love Lucy" show when Harpo was a guest. This is ultimately one of the best all-around Marx Brothers movies.

Groucho, Harpo and Chico at their zany finest! Add Zeppo and the ever unflappable, Margaret DuMont along with a lavish house party complete with its own theft and some of their best quick repartee ever and you have pure silliness at its most infectious. Still holds up after all these years! Hooray for Captain Spaulding indeed!

Maybe not quite as good as Duck Soup, this one is at least as good as A Night at the Opera. Along with the Marx Brothers, Margaret Dumont pleases as always.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Print
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2011

If you own the Silver Screen version of this DVD and wonder if it uses the same print the answer is it doesn't. The Silver Screen version contains so many skips in the bridge scene that it's unwatchable. This print is not pristine but the few skips are not during dialog and are hardly noticeable. My advice for Marx Brothers fans is to buy the Siver Screen for the other films and to replace Animal Crackers with this version.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Marx Bros. film
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2003
Verified Purchase
And here's why. The first 10 minutes of this movie leaves me smiling for days. "Hello I must be going"..etc,. Groucho's entrance as Capt. Spaulding in a hysterical parody of musical theater is priceless. His "negotiation " with Chico that immediately follows is equally funny.
Margaret Dumont is perfectly cast as a prim and proper society woman serving as the foil to Groucho's lunacy.
I know that this film usually ranks below some of the later more polished productions that followed but Animal Crackers captures the Marx Bros at their vaudevillian best. It's a movie well worth owning.

Huge fan, quote them daily. Look, if you love 'em: you'll love it. But it is their worst film, and the audio is barely audible.

Need to be paying attention to the dialogue as the quips made are fast and frequent.

Probably need to be a Marx Brothers fan as some gags are old. Must be one of the first ones made as some actors are not quite at ease working in the madcap settings.
Enjoy the gifted playing of both the harp and piano.
