Animal Crackers (1930)
Captain Spaulding, the noted explorer, returns from Africa and attends a gala
party held by Mrs. Rittenhouse. A painting displayed at that party is stolen,
and the Marx’s help recover it. Well, maybe ‘help’ isn’t quite the word I was looking
for, this is the Marx Brothers after all.
