Animal Crackers
Dir: Victor Heerman
1930
****
I love the Marx brothers but I can't say I understand why this is often referred to as their best? I liked it, love it even but out of all their films that I've seen, this one has dated the most with the gags lacking their usual punch. They certainly improved after this but that said, it's great to look back at this and see their development of ideas and thankfully the road to greatness wasn't a long one.
