Hooray for Captain Spaulding!
Is it a surprise that “Animal Crackers” takes a simple plot and turns it on its ear in a matter of minutes as a launching pad for the insanity of the Marx Brothers?

No, but it makes sense.

The characters in “Animal Crackers” celebrate the return of world traveler Captain Spaulding (Groucho) while also dealing with the theft of a rare work of art at the home of the wealthy Mrs. Rittenhouse (Dumont), where the soiree takes place. But once the good captain arrives, along with Spaulding’s stenographer Jamison (Zeppo), Signore Ravelli (Chico) and the Professor (Harpo), nothing sane or expected takes place afterwards. But really, what did you expect?

Perfect foils are the likes of Dumont and art patron Mr. Chandler (Sorin), the latter of which is revealed to be Abie the Fish Peddler from Czechoslovakia by fellow Czech Chico. in fact, here’s a FAVORITE LINE: Chandler – (to Chico) “Hey! How did you get to be Italian?” Chico – “Never you a-mind; who’s-a confession is-a this?”. What’s not to love?

Anyway, there’s loads of quotable dialogue, sight gags galore, a great running gag with a picture of a horse and a finale that must be seen to be believed. Of course, this whole MOVIE must be seen to be believed!

Ten stars and a pair of elephant pajamas for “Animal Crackers” – the perfect side dish for four hams.

TIDBIT – The song “Hooray for Captain Spaulding” was later re-used by Groucho for his game show “You Bet Your Life”. Can’t say that I blame him.

One of the best Marx Brothers films
The plot here is really secondary. It involves Captain Jeffrey Spaulding (Groucho) coming to a rich woman’s (Margaret Dumont–as always) house for the unveiling of a famous painting. Harpo and Chico are on hand as musicians and are hired to steal the painting. Zeppo is wasted (as always) and there’s a groan-worthy romantic subplot between Lillian Roth and Hal Thompson.

This isn’t a perfect film. Ther are some problems–it’s based on a stage play–and it shows; the plot gets real silly; some of the songs are terrible; Chico and Harpo have their obligatory (and dull) piano and harp solos; there’s an incredibly fake-sounding thunderstorm and Roth is TERRIBLE. Also there’s one sequence where Harpo keeps hitting Dumont in the stomach–that’s NOT funny. Still there’s enough good material here to make it worth watching.

There’s a great poker game with Chico, Hapo, Dumont and another guest; the “Hooray for Captain Spaulding” number; Dumonts facial expressions are priceless and there are plenty of nonsensical conversations between Chico and Harpo–even Zeppo gets into one! This was out of circulation from the 1950s to the 1970s (for some reason). When it came back out it was released to theatres and a big hit. Worth seeing.
