About the Item:

Up for bidding is the classic Marx Brothers political satire Duck Soup on DVD. It is in fantastic gently used condition, I'd call it new but the wrapper is off. The movie is in black & white, though the cover is in color.

I am selling all my DVD's to help reach a greater goal. My husband & I are saving to adopt our first child, so we're auctioning off much of what we've accumulated in our teens and twenties: DVD's and video games, entertainment collectables, home decor, and more. Please keep checking back, we have hundreds of DVDs and I'll be putting them up in batches, 20 or so at a time. Thank you for looking!

 

My Ebay Standard of Conduct/Seller Promises:

I will never be a Power Seller, but I've been an Ebay member for nearly 10 years. When I decided to start selling I thought about all the things that bug me as a buyer and made them the rules I promise to abide by as a seller:

Starting Price: A dollar or less, always! Bidding is much more fun when the price starts low, because the thrill of getting something cool for way less than its worth is the best part!

 

Actual Shipping: I will always use the Ebay shipping calculator. I’m raising money for an honest cause, so I’ll never squeeze extra cash from you in my shipping charges. Also, if you win more than one item of mine, I will always be happy to combine shipping to save you money. For DVD's, I can fit 3 into a bubble envelope without increasing the price. I can fit 4 in my smallest Priority Shipping box and keep it at the smallest price for boxes. Any more than that, and at the end of your auctions I can see what combination to split it as to make it as wallet friendly as possible!

 

Communication & Feedback: I'm a big fan of great communication. Any questions about the items, please ask and I will respond as soon as possible. Want additional pictures of something? Ask and I can email them to you. I'll always leave you positive feedback as soon as your payment arrives. (I've bought twice as much stuff as my feedback rating shows, too many sellers ignore their feedback duties!) And I will let you know that your item is on its way. It’s just good manners!

Movie description
DUCK SOUP captures some of the Marx Brothers' zaniest routines and funniest quips, creating a laugh-out-loud spectacle of politics gone haywire. Backed by wealthy widow Mrs. Teasdale (regular Marx straightwoman Margaret Dumont), Groucho becomes the leader of Freedonia, quickly frustrating his cabinet and offending the aggressive neighboring country to the point of war. Chico and Harpo, sent by the rival country, spy on Groucho and try to steal his battle plans, but when war does come, loyalties become muddled all around. Director Leo McCarey gets the most out of the brothers, letting them be their wackiest best in what many critics consider to be the funniest Marx Brothers movie. Groucho plays Rufus T. Firefly, one of his best characters. The one-liners fly through the air like the bombs exploding in the hysterical battle scene. DUCK SOUP is a must-see comedy spectacular; don't blink or you'll miss yet another stinger....

Credits
Cast:Chico Marx, Edgar Kennedy, Groucho Marx, Harpo Marx, Louis Calhern, Margaret Dumont, Marx Brothers, Raquel Torres, Zeppo Marx

Editorial reviews
"...The Marx Brothers created a body of work in which individual films are like slices from the whole, but DUCK SOUP is probably the best..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (07/09/2000)

"...It's a merciless satire on patriotism, politics and the establishment which has lost little of its bite or ability to tickle the ribs....Proof that the brothers are as relevant now as they ever were..."
Total Film - Paul Roland (02/01/2001)

"...[A] brilliant melange of gags....Harpo's physical clowning has the grace and sleight of hand of a true magician..."
Premiere - Premiere Staff (12/01/2003)
