Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
There is an odd moment when Harpo shows Groucho a doghouse tattooed on his stomach, and in a special effect a real dog emerges and barks at him. The brothers broke the classical structure of movie comedy and glued it back again haphazardly, and nothing was ever the same.

The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
The sheer silliness is inspired.
100
Empire - Ian Nathan
The Marx brothers on top form with their quickfire comedy and banter.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
A masterpiece...DUCK SOUP is perhaps the best, and funniest, depiction of the absurdities of war ever committed to celluloid.

Time Out - Unnamed
Genius just about covers it.
