The Marx Brothers

Between Christmas and the New Year, the Film Museum traditionally presents the works of the most fearless cell in the history of cinematic anarchism: Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo Marx. This year's program of 12 screenings ranges from their early features such as The Cocoanuts (1929) and Animal Crackers (1930) to masterpieces like Duck Soup (1933) and A Night at the Opera (1935), and to the more rarely seen films of the late 1930s and 1940s: Room Service (1938), At the Circus (1939) and The Big Store (1941).
