Jordan's Comment: "Some of my more conservative
friends have accused me of being a closet Marxist. Well, I guess I'll finally
admit it: I love these guys.
Groucho is the all-time king of the one-liner,
Harpo says more in one scene than most actors manage in a full-speech movie, and
Chico and Zeppo play brilliantly in supporting roles. Duck Soup, in
which Groucho plays a dictator of a small, bankrupt country, is the Brothers at their best. This may not be the most
cinematically spectacular movie shown at the festival, but it will probably be the funniest."
Trivia: Groucho's real first name is Julius; Harpo's real first name is Adolph.
