Their movies are just pure fun and craziness and I love it.

The first film they did with MGM, A NIGHT AT THE OPERA, was really funny, and DAY AT THE RACES had its moments, but it just wasn't the same when they left.

I think I'll write follow ups... one per each brother and/or one per each remaining film like their MGM ones.

I will keep my comments short (I hope!)<br /><br />First, I love Harpo. I love his musicianship, I love the random crap he produces from his coat, and mostly I love that his comedy transcends language. You could show any of his 'bits' to anyone in the world and I'm certain they would laugh. It gets me emotional thinking of how much of a genius Harpo is to pull that off. To make people laugh at a 'simpleton'.<br /><br />Second, these are all great films to watch over and over. The dialog is often so rapid-fire and witty that it takes many viewings to get all the jokes. So when Duck Soup (or any of the others) comes on, I'll always want to watch again. Besides it's hilarious to watch Ms. Dumont squirm!<br /><br />Finally, HAIL FREEDONIA! That is all!<br /><br />Kellee...great write-up, as always your film knowledge blows me away.Joel Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03866692896259908078noreply@blogger.com
