The quintessential Marx Brothers comedy. Groucho, Harpo, Chico and yes, Zeppo, are at their manic peak in this uproariously anarchic parody of college life.Imagine Groucho as the president of a college and Harpo and Chico as football players. It doesn’t get much wackier than this. Horse feathers, indeed. Groucho is hilarious to watch as a hip professor. He’s at his most rebellious singing “Whatever it is, I’m against it.” Thelma Todd does some of her best vamping to help fix the big football game, which Harpo and Chico are supposed to throw. Naturally, the brothers have other ideas. For sheer laughter, this has to rate almost as high as Duck Soup, with the memorable speakeasy sequence, and the funniest football finale of all time, complete

A reporter helps a condemned man escape. “His Girl Friday” is even better than the very good original, “Front Page”. Howard Hawks and Cary Grant have rarely handled comedy better, and Rosalind Russell gives one of her most memorable performances. Grant stars as Walter Burns, a newspaper editor whose top reporter, Hildy Johnson (Russell), is leaving the paper to get married. Walter wants her to stay in order to cover the impending execution of a convicted murderer, but Hildy refuses, leading to a continuing battle of wits between them. Hanks was always interested in what makes the professional tick. Almost all of his films touched on this theme in one way or another.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.

CAVALCADE OF COMEDY – DVD MovieTo watch this more-than-three-hour collection of 16 Paramount short subjects is to be transported to vaudeville heaven. These priceless performances were produced between 1929 and 1933. Comedy was to Paramount what musicals were to MGM, and who better to usher in a new era of talking pictures than audience-tested stage entertainers? The studio recruited New York’s finest. Among the headliners on this bill are George Burns and Gracie Allen, Eddie Cantor, Jack Benny, George Jessel, Bing Crosby, and Milton Berle. The shorts themselves are mostly just filmed records of these established acts, much as if you watched them from your center aisle seat at the Palace Theatre. The jokes, unlike fine wine, have not aged w

If there’s one movie Danny Kaye fans fondly remember, it’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The versatile comedian–also an unsurpassed song-and-dance man–plays a henpecked, thriller-genre book writer suddenly enmeshed in a real adventure involving the (literal) girl of his dreams (Virginia Mayo). Initially criticized for not staying true to the more melancholic sensibility of author James Thurber’s original story (Thurber allegedly offered producer Samuel Goldwyn ,000 to not make the film), it not only works as an independent story, but remains highly entertaining and wears well upon repeated viewing. Kaye’s milquetoast Walter fantasizes distractedly about being heroic, whether a gunslinger, an Air Force pilot, or a riverboat

Ever cheerful, little dimples sings for money in the bowery while her thieving grandfather pickpockets the crowd she attracts. When a society lady adopts her, Dimples is discovered by the woman’s nephew who needs someone to play Little Eva in his upcoming production of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”.The pathologically adorable Shirley Temple provides a neat escape hatch from modern movies’ irony and cynicism in Dimples, a 1936 classic about a down-and-out 6-year-old busker sharing a squalid Bowery flat with her scoundrel of a grandfather, the Professor. When Dimples and her posse of ragamuffin performers score a gig at a rich old lady’s party, the thieving Professor pulls the plug on everyone’s good time by five-fingering the guests’ furs. Dimples is

This Frank Capra comedy from 1931 helped define the screwball-comedy genre that became so popular with films like It Happened One Night and The Awful Truth. In this witty romp, Jean Harlow plays an upper-crust socialite who bullies her reporter husband (Robert Williams) into conforming to her highfalutin ways. The husband chafes at the confinement of high society, though, and yearns for a creative outlet. He decides to write a play and collaborates with a fellow reporter (Loretta Young); the results are unexpectedly hilarious, especially when Young shows up at the mansion with a gaggle of boozehound reporters in tow. With snappy, ribald dialogue (allowable in those pre-Hays Code days), Capra keeps the gags flying fast and furious, taking sp

Before The French Connection made him a household name, William Friedkin drafted this love letter to the burlesque era. In 1925, Amish redhead Rachel (Swedish bombshell Britt Ekland) travels from Pennsylvania to New York to dance. On the advice of Professor Spats (The Wizard of Oz’s Bert Lahr, who died during filming), she catches the variety show at Minsky’s, which is run by the proprietor’s son, Billy (Elliot Gould). Comic duo Raymond (Jason Robards) and Chick (Oscar nominee Norman Wisdom) enlist Rachel to perform her Bible routine, billed as the scandalous Madamoiselle Fifi, to make a fool out of moral guardian Vance Fowler (Denholm Elliot), who threatens to sic the vice squad on the theater if they don’t tone things down. While helping
