my favorite movie of 1930:
Animal Crackers
(Groucho Marx, Harpo Marx, Chico Marx, Zeppo Marx, Margaret Dumont. Directed by Victor Heerman.)
The first movie on my list that isn’t silent.
In that video, Zeppo — the only straight man among the four Marx Brothers — steals the show when he’s supposed to be writing a business letter for Captain Spaulding (Groucho). Once Groucho is done dictating the letter, Zeppo dryly announces:
You said a lot of things here that I didn’t think were important, so I just omitted them.
Groucho responds:
You’ve left out the body of the letter! All right, send it that way and tell them the body will follow.
