DUCK
SOUP (dir: Leo
McCarey, Not Rated) - Michelle
says, "When I saw this initially, I told Bart that I didn’t
get it; what was so funny about this movie? 'That hurts me,' he
said, sadly shaking his head. So twice more I watched this political
satire about government, anarchy, diplomacy, and war. And I started
to like the ridiculous slapstick of Harpo, Chico, and whoever
happens to be the hapless victim of their shenanigans. And then I
realized that the mirror scene – Harpo’s ultimate prank on
Groucho – is not merely amusing: it’s a genius achievement in
timing and visual humor, topped only perhaps by the cumulative
effect of Chico and Groucho’s relentless punning throughout the
entire feature. So do like me and watch it at least three times.
Bart will be proud of you." |

FOOTLIGHT
PARADE (dir: Lloyd
Bacon, Not Rated) - Bart says,
"42ND STREET is usually considered the undisputed champion of
Depression Era musicals, but I actually have a preference for the
same director's follow-up of the same year. Jimmy Cagney is fun in
the 'The Show Must Go On' producer role, especially when he gets to
sing and dance, but the highlight of the film is the concluding
sequence of three of genius choreographer Busby Berkeley's most
impressive numbers, each one
more impossible and insane than the last." |
