Synopsis
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.

@colleenyork oh no, marx brothers is a HUGE compliment from me. duck soup is the best comedy period. the dictator is easily his best movie
@erinpillar You should watch Duck Soup. It's hardly even a movie by normal standards, but it's great.
Cleves Film Club 2nd film - Secret Garden. Finishing ~ 5:15.
In 2 weeks intro to an old classic, Marx Brother, Duck Soup and a review too!
The Dictator is like a profane Duck Soup. I don't think I've seen a film in theaters for years that could be described as "madcap".
Duck Soup, Dr Strangelove, In the Loop: which is the funniest (not necessarily best) movie on the follies of war?
@ZeppoMarxist @mousterpiece Just to manage expectations, this movie is not as good as DUCK SOUP. It merely uses that film as a model.
@mousterpiece @scott_tobias Yes, I co-sign this statement exactly. DUCK SOUP is my favorite movie in the entire world.Facebook Comments
