A.F.I. Ranking: 60

Brief Synopsis: Mrs. Teasdale has decided she will give the country of Freedonia $20 million dollars to save it from bankruptcy if the country appoints Rufus Firefly as its new president. When Firefly meets Teasdale, he decides he wants to marry her for her wealth. The president of the next country also has the same idea, thus resulting in a war between the two nations.
My Thoughts: This was my first experience with a Marx Brothers film, and it may be my last. Sure I cracked a few smiles during this one liner filled movie, but that was about it. I’m sure the jokes were hysterical in 1933, but I was just bored to pieces. In fact, the best thing about this movie is that it was only 68 minutes. Feel free to start yelling at me now if you are a Marx Brothers fan.
