Firefly who is named president / dictator of bank rupt Freedonia and declares war on neighboring Sylvania over the love of wealthy Mrs. Teasdale. Directed by Leo McCarey and star ring the Four Marx Brothers Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo, the fast- paced and irreverent comedy-satire mocks militarism, politicians and pa triotism at a time when World War One was not a distant memory and fascism was on the rise in Europe. Considered by many critics as the brothers’ best film, it is full of metic ulously structured one-liners, puns, gags and physical comedy bits includ ing the famous mirror sequence that give viewers barely enough time to catch their breath before moving for ward to the next crazy moment. And what does that title mean? As Groucho put it “Take two turkeys, one goose, four cabbages, but no duck, and mix them together. After one taste, you’ll duck soup for the rest of your life.” Seats are limited and the deadline to purchase is midnight Monday, No vember 11.
