ABOUT THE FILMS ANIMAL CRACKERS, 1930, Universal, 97 min. Dir. Victor Heerman . The Marx Bros.’ second film finds them running amok at a swanky Long Island estate where a priceless painting has been stolen. This invaluable record of their last Broadway show features Groucho’s immortal theme song, “Hooray for Captain Spaulding,” the classic bridge game and dictating-a-letter routines, and delightful support from the legendary Lillian Roth, plus Louis Sorin, Robert Greig and, of course, Margaret Dumont. FORMAT: DCP MONKEY BUSINESS, 1931, Universal, 77 min, USA, Dir: Norman Z. McLeod . The Marx Brothers’ first original screenplay – by S.J. Perelman and an uncredited Ben Hecht, among others – is perhaps their most bizarre (and the only one in which they have no character names). They’re stowaways on an ocean liner, wreaking havoc and getting mixed up with rival gangsters as well as Thelma Todd. Includes the famous scene where all four try to get through customs by pretending to be Maurice Chevalier. FORMAT: DCP
