The Cocoanuts

The debut of the Four Marx Brothers--Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and Zeppo--adapts their hit 1925 Broadway comedy, written by George S. Kaufman with music by Irving Berlin, for the big screen. Set in the run-down Hotel de Cocoanut in Florida, owner Groucho insults guests, woos wealthy Mrs. Potter (Margaret Dumont), and vainly tries to auction off "choice" resort property. Features Groucho and Chico’s "Why a duck?" routine. With Kay Francis, Mary Eaton. 94 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary; featurette.
