In 1933 Paramount Pictures released the rollicking Marx Brothers'
comedy Duck Soup. It was the last film to feature all four brothers--Groucho,
Harpo,
Chico, and Zeppo. The film is series Marxian gags satirizing war and government.
In 1967, Groucho donated his papers to the Library, and among those materials
is the script to Duck Soup as well as a rich trove of letters to and from the
comic, literary, and political luminaries of his day.
