The Marx Brothers in Color - DUCK SOUP 1933

The Marx Brothers get the colour treatment in what many consider their best film. Enjoy some highlights of Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo in this early pre-code comedy.

That gag with the tattoos is absolutely batshit insane 90 years later.

"He gets mad because he can't read." was one of the best Marx Bros. lines ever.

Groucho Marx gave an explanation as to why the movie was called "Duck Soup".

"Take two turkeys, one goose, four cabbages, but no duck, and mix them together. After one taste, you'll duck soup the rest of your life."

Wait what the hell that dog affect was actually insanely good

I think I was the only teenager my age that wanted a DVD box set of the Marx Brothers including this movie

My dad and I used to watch this when I was little. Classic and beautiful how it's in color.

This brilliant. The colour brings the movie to life. Thanks for sharing.

I grew up watching those movies, seeing in color brings such a warm feeling! Amazing work! Thank you!

[HermitKing]

Love how you could hear every sound being made on the stage in older movies.

In 1971 at my apartments clubhouse when I was ten years old they used to show The Marx Brothers and also Abbott & Costello films on a 16mm projector on Saturday afternoons. I am glad I was allowed the opportunity. Renting a film was not cheap, and this was over tens years before videocassettes.

Still stands as one of the funniest movies ever made.

Oh man🤣 ....that dog in the tattoo gag🤣

[antonellaortizc]

I love this movie! I've never realised that Chico's outfit was green and Harpo's wig was so orange 😉

[DReyesNYC]

Great color work, truly next level. ❤

[debbierichens]

I never thought that I’d see a Marx Brothers film in colour! What amazing work, so clever! I didn’t know Harpo’s wig was orange.

[alannatrebond]

Oooh that is trippy. I definitely prefer it in black n white! 😂

[Villafarrell]

This is so impressive! The picture quality in itself, let alone the color! Wonderful new life to a genuine classic

[gregruland]

These productions with colorized old films I loved all my life give me chance to share them with my grandkids in little bites they can appreciate - great editing for the very best bits. Great job! I thank you.

It's been fifty years since I first saw this film, which is a longer gap of time from its premiere to that moment I first witnessed the film in the eighth grade. The wonderful thing is the color is pretty much exactly as I imagined it from the French blue army uniforms, to Chico's green hat and jacket, and Harpo's fiery orange hair. It was wonderful, and now the moment has passed. I'll just stare into the mirror, that isn't there, looking wistfully at myself, that isn't me. And wonder will I ever have towels that aren't dark ever again?
