Horse Feathers (1932) was a bizarre comedy from the Marx Brothers. All
four of the performing brothers play their roles with a manic zest. The
story takes place in a university. Groucho stars a dean who's more
concerned with his own personal affairs than those of the school, Zeppo
co-stars as his dim-witted son, Chico and Harpo play two shady characters
who are enlisted by Groucho. They're "recruited" by him to play for the
school's football team. When the three get together madness abounds!
Zeppo is once again plays the straight man whilst his brothers run amok.
The movie is little over an hour long and is very padded out. A couple of
musical numbers are inserted to make the film close to a feature length film. Despite the "plot", the movie is an excuse to see the Marx Brothers in
Action (and boy they sure in the hell don't disappoint). A funny film
that's worth watching (except the musical numbers are quiet boring). But
Groucho and company will keep you highly entertained.
