| Beskrivelse:
Monkey Business: The four Marx Brothers, Harpo, Chico, Groucho and Zeppo, head for high-seas hilarity in this classic film comedy. While hiding from the of authorities on a luxury liner, the quartet stowaways become bodyguards of rival gangsters, with the usual hilarious results. And naturally, no woman can resist a shipboard romance with the wily, quick-witted Groucho. Written by S.J. Perelman, this laugh-filled escape contains some of the Marx Brothers' wackiest routines, including the famous disembarkation sequence where they all pass themselves off as Maurice Chevalier. Take a madcap vintage voyage with the Marx Brothers, where lunacy ride the waves.
Horse Feathers: The quintessentail Marx Brothers comedy. Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and yes, Zeppo, are their manic peak in this uproariously anarchic parady of college life. As the fun-loving president of Huxley College, Groucho tries to keep the student body in line while attempting to keep his own body near a flirtatious floozie (Thelma Todd) who is secretly trying to rig the big football game between Huxley and arch rival Darwin University. Plot aside, and it usually is, Horse Feathers contains some of the greatest sequences in movie comedy history, including a classic schoolroom shoot-out between Grouch and students Harpo and Chico, as well as an unforgettable football game finale. Other gems include each brother offering his personal rendition of Everyone says I love You and speak-easy sequence that will forever give meaning to the word swordfish. The fourth and perhaps funniest Marx Brothers comedy boasts a script by immortal humorist S. J. Perelman, sngs by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby.
Duck Soup: A pointed political satire, Duck Soup is the Marx Brothers' funniest and most insane film. Groucho is Rufus T. Firefly, the hilarious dicator of mythical Freedonia. Harpo and Chico are commisioned as spies by Groucho's political rival, the calculating Trentino. The film contains many of the Brothers' famous sequences: the lemonade stand, a masterpiece of slow burn: the Paul Revere parody; the We're Ging To War number, a beautiful spoof of '30s' musicals; the hilarious mirror and final battle episode that has been copied by everyone from Woody Allen to Mad Magazine. |
