The Marx Brothers: Duck Soup

BBC One
on BBC One London

The postage stamp republic of Freedonia, threatened by revolution, hires Rufus (Groucho) T. Firefly as its dictator. With Chico and Harpo as double agents working for the rival state of Sylvania, Freedonia is about to get its first taste of Marxist rule!
Made in 1933, Duck Soup saw the last appearance by Zeppo.
