Animal Crackers
A painting has gone missing at the home of wealthy socialite Mrs. Rittenhouse and there’s only one man to find it; Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding. All four Marx Brothers (including Zeppo) are on board for this hilarious farce but it’s Groucho as the outrageous Spaulding who shoulders the most memorable moments including the introduction of what would be his perennial theme song, “Hooray for Captain Spaulding”.
