Product Description

The four Marx Brothers – Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo – are at the top of their game in the uproarious parody of college life, Horse Feathers. As president of Huxley College, the fun-loving Professor Wagstaff (Groucho) attempts to help his son (Zeppo) finally graduate after 12 years by arranging to "buy" professional football players for an upcoming big game against rival Darwin University. The plan takes an unexpected twist, however, when a bootlegger (Chico) and a dogcatcher (Harpo) are mistaken for the athletes and accidentally hired instead. Featuring their trademark insanity, including a climatic football sequence that has to be seen to be believed, this quintessential Marx Brothers' comedy earned a place on the AFI's 100 Years…100 Laughs list.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's enough to make me pull myself to pieces !!!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2007
    Horse Feathers stars the four Marx Brothers; and they carry this film like the champs they still remain. Thelma Todd plays the college widow with sophistication; her sense of timing during the comedy scenes equals that of the four Marx Brothers. The plot moves along at a good pace and there are plenty of laughs for everyone.

    The action begins with Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff (Groucho Marx) becoming president of Huxley College. Wagstaff disapproves of his son running around with the college widow Mrs. Bailey (Thelma Todd); and unbeknownst to anyone Mrs. Bailey is in cahoots with her real boyfriend Mr. Jennings (David Landau) and Darwin University. Jennings wants to get the football signals from Huxley University so that once again Huxley will lose a college football game; that way Jennings's bet that Darwin will win the football game will pay off handsomely.

    Of course, from there on in it's anybody's guess what happens next. Will Wagstaff ever find out the real reason Connie Bailey is after him AND his son? Will Wagstaff be able to correct his mistake when he finds out he recruited the wrong two men to win the football game? Sure, he recruited two men--Pinky (Harpo Marx) and Baravelli (Chico Marx), but he was supposed to recruit two other young brutes. The young brutes play for the opposing Darwin University team to get the team to victory and let Jennings win his bet. How will Huxley University win the game after Pinky and Baravelli are taken hostage by the two brutes sent into the Darwin team to help fix the game?

    There is something potentially controversial thing about this film. Paramount was apparently desperate to have singing and dancing in it. Therefore you get several song and dance numbers that push the limits; poor Wagstaff (Groucho) has to sing a song as the movie opens. It's a very funny song; but Groucho Marx couldn't sing. Baravelli has a short musical number with the widow Bailey at the piano and Pinky (Harpo) magically finds a harp sitting conveniently just outside the widow Bailey's window so he can serenade her. In addition, you need to suspend belief somewhat because Zeppo plays Wagstaff's son, even though in real life Zeppo Marx was only 11 years younger than his brother Groucho. Sigh. They do try hard and it's a very funny movie so I'll overlook these issues and give the movie five stars anyway. I laughed a lot!

    Overall, this movie is a must have for Marx Brothers fans; and anyone who likes screwball comedies from the 1930s will cherish this one for years to come. If anyone says you should skip this movie, ignore their advice!

    Enjoy!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Whatever It Is, I'm Against It - But Not "Horse Feathers"
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2001
    "Horse Feathers" released in 1932, is the Marx Bros. fourth film, and the second consecutive one without the illustrious Margaret Dumont. Thelma Todd reprises her role as a suductive vamp, as she had played in "Monkey Business". And all four Marx Bros. have a field day poking fun of higher education.
    In this film, Groucho plays Quincy Adams Wagstaff, newly elected president of Huxley College. The first indication we have that Groucho does not take the role seriously is when he lights a cigar, strictly against the rules of the college. He then breaks out in song, singing, "Whatever it is, I'm Against it".
    Groucho's interests lie with football, rather than education itself. Hearing that two really good football players are regulars at a speakeasy, Groucho visits the establishment, hoping to sign them on before the rival college, Darwin, beats him to the punch.
    Chico and Harpo happen to be there as well. Chico plays Baravelli, an ice man who sells liqour on the side. Harpo plays Pinky, a dog catcher. Groucho asks them if they are regulars in the bar, and if they play football. They go along with Groucho, assenting to each question. That's all Groucho needs to hear. He immediately enrolls them in Huxley College so they can play on the team.
    Groucho also has another purpose. Zeppo, playing Groucho's son in this film, Frank, has been neglecting his studies by pursuing interest in the college widow, Connie Bailey, played by Thelma Todd. She is working for the rival college, Darwin, and is using Zeppo to get the football signals. Groucho is determined to break the two apart, not because she is using him, of course, but to obtain her affection for himself.
    There are many hilarious highlights to "Horse Feather". One highlight is when Chico and Harpo attend a biology class, escorted by Groucho. "Have they started sawing the woman in half yet?" Groucho asks the teacher. Chico and Harpo leaves some fruit on the teachers desk before they take their seats, as though they were little children. Groucho soon takes over the class from the teacher, pointing to a chart with the human body. Harpo sneaks up and places a picture of a horse over the chart, and then a pin up calendar. After Groucho tells him he can't burn the candle at both ends, Harpro immediately produces, from his bottomless pocket, a candle that happens to be burnung at both ends. The scene ends with Chico and Harpo shooting peas at Groucho. Not wanting to be outdone, Groucho joins in, having his own pea shooter tucked away.
    Another highlight is when Groucho goes to Connie Bailey's room, attempting to persuade her to stop seeing his son. Before he knows it, he is sitting on her lap saying, "I could sit here all day if you didn't get up." Zeppo enters, and Groucho takes the offense, angry to see his son in a disgraceful postion. Zeppo leaves, and Harpo re-enters with a block of ice. The ice is used merely as a pass, or excuse, to gain enterance, and is quickly tossed out the window. When he leaves, Chico appears with a block of ice. They go back and forth, getting more ice so they may enter the room to "show their affection" to Connie, leaving Groucho with little time to make his own advances. Groucho's reply to this is, "This must be the main highway".
    The climax of the film is the football game, where the Marx Bros. perform more of their hilarous antics. Groucho, after realizing the two real football players he was intending to sign are playing for Darwin, plans for Chico and Harpo to kidnap them. But their scheme backfires, and it becomes Chico and Harpo who are the victims of kidnapping. The two must find a way to escape before the start of the football game. When they do, Harpo makes his grand enterance on the field riding a chariot, and throwing banana peels in front of players, who stumble over them. Even Groucho joins the team on the field.
    "Horse Feathers" follows a procession of what is considered the best and funniest of the Marx Bros. films. The material is still fresh and raw, unlike in later films. The Marx Bros. are allowed freedom to do as they please, without being constrained to remembering the correctness of their lines. Adlibs are frequent, which only seem to frustrate the director, producer and writers of the film. The audience, however, is delighted, and could care less. We are much happier to see the boys working off each other, rather than what the writers have written. And the finished product succeeds as a result.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, disappointing restoration
    Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    To be clear, the introductory number of this film looks better than it ever has. Earlier releases come off over exposed, and this new scan is great. But one thing I was really looking forward to with this release would be to see the cut frames missing from the scene in the college widow's living room-- especially the moment Harpo actually drops the block of ice out the window. Not only are these frames missing, but an earlier scene appears to have new frame jittering present that wasn't in previous releases. The nail in the coffin is the commentary, which fails to mention any of this. Compared to the commentary in the most recent release of the two prior films, Animal Crackers and Monkey Business, the commentary is lacking. The commentator seems to stretch for generalized Marx information that's already well known rather than specifically surrounding Horse Feathers. There are times it succeeds, and accomplishes the basics like explaining "college widow," but other contemporary references and slang go unmentioned. Would've really loved to know why those frames couldn't be restored.
