Movies of 2021, 26: Animal Crackers

🎥 Movies of 2021, 26: Animal Crackers. I’ve always been more of a theoretical Marx Brothers fan. I ‘liked’ them, but if pressed I would have to admit that I’d probably only seen two of their movies (Duck Soup and A Night at the Opera). So I’m trying to fill in the gaps.

I think every Marx Brothers movie has four types of scenes:

  • Funny ones
  • Musical interludes
  • Plot rigamarole
  • Racism or Harpo being a sex pest

And I pretty much ignore the last three. But I do like the funny ones.
