Duck Soup

Directed by Leo McCarey
19331hr 9min

Step right up and witness the comedic chaos that ensues when Rufus T. Firefly takes the reins as president/dictator of Freedonia in "Duck Soup"! In a desperate attempt to save his bankrupt nation, Firefly dives headfirst into a ridiculous rivalry with neighboring Sylvania, all for the affection of the wealthy Mrs. Teasdale.

As the absurdity unfolds, prepare to be swept away by a whirlwind of witty one-liners, zany antics, and political satire that will leave you in stitches. With Groucho Marx at the helm as the eccentric Firefly, "Duck Soup" serves up a deliciously absurd blend of humor and hijinks that is sure to tickle your funny bone. So, grab your popcorn, buckle up, and get ready for a wild ride through the nonsensical world of Freedonia!
