Movie Reviews of Horse Feathers
Movie Review: ridicule and satire of colleges
Summary: 3 Stars
The idea that Groucho could be put in charge of a college or university in 1932 is pretty funny alone, but these brothers mock everything sacred in education as well as college football.
They were a very talented bunch who could play well and sing,
besides satire and do slap-stick comedy.
I suppose irreverent is the best way to describe this movie.
Summary of Horse Feathers
The quintessential Marx Brothers comedy. Groucho, Harpo, Chico and yes, Zeppo, are at their manic peak in this uproariously anarchic parody of college life.Imagine Groucho as the president of a college and Harpo and Chico as football players. It doesn't get much wackier than this. Horse feathers, indeed. Groucho is hilarious to watch as a hip professor. He's at his most rebellious singing "Whatever it is, I'm against it." Thelma Todd does some of her best vamping to help fix the big football game, which Harpo and Chico are supposed to throw. Naturally, the brothers have other ideas. For sheer laughter, this has to rate almost as high as Duck Soup, with the memorable speakeasy sequence, and the funniest football finale of all time, complete with banana peels and a chariot. --Bill Desowitz
