Horse Feathers
I looooooove the Marx Brothers. All their stuff gets top ratings from me, well all of them I've seen at least. I haven't gotten to the last few which I heard might not be as well. But Horse Feathers fits in just wonderfully amongst their best.
Like usual hilarious wordplay and well played visual gags, especially on the football field. Football games always seem prime fodder for all kinds of visual gags. When they try to pull off Harpo's shirt and it just keeps getting longer and longer. It might be about the simplest, stupidest joke you could come up with, but it's absolutely side-splitting.
I'm always surprised when I remember how short some of these movies are though. This one is only 1 hour and 8 minutes. And it's the same running time for my favorite of their movies, Duck Soup.
Just one more thing, does anyone out there have any idea what the phrase "horse feathers" even means? Does it have anything to do with football? Or is it just nonsense? Leave me a comment if you know.
