Hilarious and accessible Marx Brothers comedy which also works as a political satire. The perfect choice for your club's first...

Another great caper from the legandary comedy quartet. In the ironically named Freedonia, it's people are ruled by a mad slightly evil dictator, Firefly (Groucho Marx). With his distinctive cigar and moustache he always has a pun on hand aswell as some amazing feats of physical comedy. With Zeppo Marx trying to guide him in the right direction all hell breaks lose and soon war breaks out. Meanwhile, double agents Harpo and Chico irritate a lemonade vendor and cause havok for both parties. Duck soup is a rib-tickling, gut-clenching, laugh out loud film with a talented cast of slapstick geniuses. If you liked 'The Great Dictator' then you'll love the Marx Brothers Duck Soup!!
