The Marx Brothers' second film is an adaptation of their Broadway hit. Mrs Rittenhouse (Margaret Dumont) is throwing a high society party, at which African explorer Jeffrey T. Spaulding (Groucho Marx) is the guest of honour. When a valuable painting is stolen from the house, Spaulding teams up with Italian musician Emanual Ravelli (Chico Marx) and the eccentric Professor (Harpo Marx) to track down the thieves - in between trading insults with their fellow guests and generally creating mayhem!

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.  Hooray for Captain Spaulding! 'Animal Crackers' is a classic of screen history, and it's as uproariously funny today as it was 50 years ago. This film introduced Groucho's most famous character, Captain Spaulding, whose song became the theme of his 'You Bet Your Life' TV program. Highlights include Groucho's African lecture ("One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas, I don't know.") and the card game which Harpo and Chico play with the wealthy society woman Mrs. Rittenhouse (Margaret Dumont)...
