Animal Crackers (1930) is a sequel of sorts to their first film The Cocanuts. Like the last film, Animals Crackers is nothing more than a showcase for
the Marx Brothers. Groucho, Harpo and Chico display their comical
talents whilst Zeppo plays the straight man. Not as great as their later
films with Zeppo but a must for any Marx Brothers fan. Watch Groucho
put on a one man show as he zings the stuff shirts with one-liners and
witty comebacks. This was the start of the Marx Brothers reign as one of
the best comedy team.
Recommended.
