Horse Feathers

Another good one, although at this point, it’s hard to say how good. The Marx Brothers play their same old characters, and there are a lot of similar jokes and gags. It’s still entertaining, but after watching four Marx Brothers movies within two days, it’s hard for this one to really stand out. The story this time is about Huxley College, its new president (Groucho), and a football game with rival Darwin College. The football scenes at the end, with Groucho, Chico, and Harpo all on the field, are particularly fun. There’s nothing quite like seeing a game-winning touchdown scored by way of a horse-drawn chariot! Horse Feathers is pretty enjoyable; I’m just too over-Marxed to say anything insightful now.
