Horse Feathers (1932)

Directed by Norman Z. McLeod
Starring The Marx Brothers
Produced by Paramount Pictures

There's a college and a football team and a plot to steal another school's players and...frankly, I'm not going to bother.

You either like the Marx Brothers brand of comedy or you don't.  I don't.  There's no progression or escalation.  It's simply variations on the same jokes I did not like in every other movie.

There is nothing for me to say about Horse Feathers that I haven't said before.  If you want to know what I think, read any of these.

Will I watch the last couple of Marx Brothers films? Yes, but only to get through it.  As it stands, these are the movies I dread watching from each year.
