[Starring] The four Marx Brothers

Made in 1932, Horse Feathers has all four brothers in it, with the less well-known Zeppo playing a veteran student who is having difficulty in getting his diploma at a college - whose president is none other than Groucho. In the script the master hand of S.J. Perelman can be detected, and the direction is by the experienced comedy director Norman McLeod.
