Duck Soup -- Ride Like Fury -- January 22, 2014

"Ride like Fury," says President Rufus T Firefly to Pinky, "If you run out of gas, get ethyl. If Ethel runs out, get Mabel! Now step on it!"  There is a running gag involving the motorcycle and the sidecar. 

Duck Soup was the Marx Brothers' last film for Paramount and the last one that starred the Four Marx Brothers; it is a favorite of mine. Director Leo McCarey brought along his experience with Hal Roach shorts and some Hal Roach regulars, including Edgar Kennedy and Charles Middleton.
