Animal Crackers

This is one of the Marx Brothers’ funniest films, with Groucho starring as the big, wild, game hunter causing more delirium in high society than in the jungle! A painting is stolen in a high society home, and the Marx Brothers are there to lend their confusing hand to solve the crime.
