Monkey Business/Horse Feathers

£3.99

Released: 1st April 2019. Double bill of 1930s comedies starring the Marx brothers. In 'Monkey Business' (1931), the brothers are stowaways aboard a luxury ocean liner. While Groucho, Chico and Harpo create mayhem attempting to escape the clutches of the captain and crew, Zeppo embarks on a romance with Mary Helton (Ruth Hall), daughter of retired gangster Joe Helton (Rockliffe Fellowes). When rival gang leader Alky Briggs (Harry Woods) hatches a plot to kidnap Mary and hold her to ransom, it is up to the boys to save the day. 'Horse Feathers' (1932) sees the brothers creating havoc on a college campus. The new president of Huxley college, Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff (Groucho Marx) soon sets about attending to important school business, namely winning the school their first football game since 1888. On the advice of his son he enters a local speakeasy, intending to bribe a couple of professional players to make the college team. What he ends up with instead are an inept dog catcher and an ice delivery man. However, the duo prove invaluable when Wagstaff becomes romantically involved with the scheming Connie Bailey (Thelma Todd), a college widow who is secretly in league with Huxley's chief rival, Darwin.
