Horse Feathers (1932) starring the Marx Brothers, Thelma Todd, David Landau. Professor Wagstaff (Groucho) somehow gets himself appointed president of Huxley College, and soon he is involved in scheming involving the upcoming football game against Darwin College. Groucho, Chico and Harpo are in fine form, and Zeppo serves his usual function as wet blanket. Expect the customary Marx Brothers wackiness, and all I can say is, it's good for what ails you. This movie also has the rare virtue of being very short; at 68 minutes, it leaves you wanting more. The subtitles are very good, and a great help in several spots where the soundtrack of this 1932 film is not in such great shape. Grade: A-
