Animal Crackers

The setting is a high society Long Island mansion, where the owner Mrs. Rittenhouse, with her daughter Arabella are giving a party with two special surprise treats in store for her invited guests

She is hosting the celebrated Captain Spalding alias Groucho Marx, who is a noted African jungle explorer, with twirling moustache and cigar in hand. She is also going to unveil a famous and priceless new sculpture - (in the film it was an oil painting)

There then follows episodes of mistaken identity, romantic interludes, intrigue and song and dance numbers including the hilarious Hooray for Captain Spaulding - which all adds up to a ridiculous but witty musical comedy

This crazy, wacky, knockabout, slapstick show, is full of many well-known Marx Brothers puns and gags
