Red Wagon -- Tamara finds the love of her life sleeping naked on a beach... but will her sister let her keep him?

Thanks to the patronage of well-heeled widow Mrs. Teasdale (Margaret Dumont), Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho Marx) becomes dictator of the tiny country of Freedonia. But when the ambassador of the bordering nation of Sylvania declares his love for Mrs. Teasdale, Firefly declares war. The Marx Brothers are at their sidesplitting best in this raucous political satire, in which Chico, Harpo and Zeppo co-star as spies and counterspies.

A pointed political satire, Duck Soup is the Marx Brothers' funniest and most insane film.
