Animal Crackers leaves the song-and-dance to Groucho in the great Hooray For Captain Spaulding, sends Harpo running after screaming blondes in the background, and breaks down the fourth wall for a wry Eugene O'Neill parody.

If your sense of humor leans heavily on wordplay and vaudevillian puns, you might even find the movie to be hilarious.
