This reeling, hilarious spoof of higher learning and college football is a classic Marx Brothers knock-out, featuring some of the comedic quartet&#8217;s wackiest gags, puns, and pranks. Professor Wagstaff (Groucho), the president of Huxley College, attempts to kick-start the home football team&#8217;s abysmal record but instead of hiring a duo of ringers accidentally recruits misfits Harpo and Chico. While trying to outsmart the shenanigans of a widow and rival team snoop (Thelma Todd), Groucho enforces the Huxley College curriculum of silly quips, pratfalls, and side-splitting slapstick. &#8220;The Marx Brothers bring their special brand of anarchy to the world of college football in this wonderfully madcap comedy. . . . Perhaps the most freewheeling film the Brothers Marx ever made&#8221; (James Monaco). Recommended for ages 8+.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Anyone want to go see this classic with me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just found this listing&#8230; Title: Horse Feathers Director: Norman Z.
