"OK" I thought.
"Maybe I've got it wrong all these years and there is something to them that I just haven't got yet"
So I sit down with a fresh and sober mind to watch "Duck Soup" on the new free Film Four channel - a film that is recognised as their best work. Supposedly a 'masterpiece' even.
Oh
My
God!!
What a dreadful start.
And then everyone starts SINGING???
And Groucho, is he supposed to be funny? Well maybe like Syed off The Apprentice, perhaps... but is this supposed to make me laugh??
Look, I know it was made in 1933 - and it was probably revolutionary then. But now?
I turned off after 15 mins of this awful claptrap.
Tell me honestly - am I missing something?
