The film duck soup is Marx Brothers comedy movie written by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby. It starred Marx Brothers and also featured Margaret Dumont. The wealthy Mrs. Teasdale (Margaret Dumont) insists that Rufus T. Firefly be appointed leader of the small, bankrupt country of Fredonia before she will continue to provide much-needed financial assistance. According to my observation of the film, the movie is excellent blend of timeless comedy with perfect acting. This movie comprised of good big looking sets with some nice costume designs. The main source of humor in the film is Groucho Marx as Rufus T. Firefly. He never failed with his rapid insults. Sometimes his jokes didn’t even relate directly to the situation at hand, but they were always funny. There are many memorable moments in the film, but my favorite sequence is the mirror scene in which Groucho, Harp and Chico, dressed in the same costume are seen on either side of the looking glass following the other person's movements. The songs about Firefly's administration and Fredonia going to war were highly entertaining. You may think that since it's an older film and that it's black and white, that it wouldn't be very funny, but that is not true. It is just as funny as many of the current comedy films today. Duck Soup is a movie for all looking for a good humor. All the different scenes and situation of the movie makes an all-star comedic reputation. In my opinion, this is a well made comedy film.
