Description de l'ouvrage :
The Marx Brothers are universally considered to be classic Hollywoods preeminent comedy team and Duck Soup is generally regarded as their quintessential film. A topical satire of dictatorship and government in general, the movie was a critical failure and box-office disappointment on its initial release in 1933. J. Hoberman's study of the film traces its reputation history, from the initial disappointment of its release, to its rise to cult status in the 1960s when the Marxs anarchic, anti-establishment humor seemed again timely. Hoberman places Duck Soup in its cinematic context, alongside analogous comediesDr. Strangelove (1964), the Beatles films, Morgan! (1966), The Presidents Analyst (1967) and The Producers (1968). It attained canonical stature as a touchstone for Woody Allen and would be recognized by the Library of Congress in the 1990s. Hoberman's analysis provides a historical and political context as well as an in-depth production history, drawing on primary sources and emphasizing director McCareys prior work along with the Marx Brothers as well as the situation at Paramount, a substantial synopsis, and an account of the movies initial reception, concluding with its subsequent elevation to comic masterpiece.
