"Horse Feathers"

Let's call today, "Marx Brothers Day." Classic Americana during the Great Depression, this 1932 movie has it all comedy, song, dance, and the corruption that is college football:
Here's part 1 of "Horse Feathers", the Marx Brothers' fourth movie and their second one written directly for the screen. At 68 minutes, it's their shortest movie, but easily one of their funniest.
