Duck Soup
Although Duck Soup didn't do well at the box offices, critics were blown away by this Marx Brothers comedy. Pinky (Harpo Marx) and Chicolini (Chico Marx) are spies sent into the nation of Freedonia in order to stage a revolution after the country goes bankrupt. Despite its lack of success upon release, this wacky film is considered a masterwork of comedy.
