Politics have never made more sense than inside the Marx brothers’ madcap masterpiece Duck Soup. The plot, if Duck Soup has one, concerns Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho Marx), the newly installed idiot leader of the bankrupt nation of Freedonia, and the hapless spies (Harpo and Chico Marx) who fail to stop him. As the world descends into chaos, the Marx brothers’ lunacy runs like clockwork yet feels like magic. In Duck Soup, Groucho, Zeppo, Chico, and Harpo stage an unpredictable political circus of comedic filmmaking, crafting the smartest stupid movie ever made, a tightly choreographed extravaganza of complete buffoonery. Audiences have been slurping up Duck Soup for nearly a century, and it tastes better than ever.
