Filled with comedy sketches, musical numbers and plenty of gags, Animal Crackers is often regarded as the Marx Brothers€ most quoted film for its witty and unforgettable dialogue. Groucho stars as Captain Spaulding, a famed African explorer who is being honored at a high society party at the estate of Mrs. Rittenhouse (Margaret Dumont). Mayhem and chaos ensue after a valuable painting disappears and Spaulding, along with the Professor (Harpo), Signore Emanuel Ravelli (Chico) and Horatio (Zeppo) €œhelp€ search for it. Highlighted by musical performances including €œHooray for Captain Spaulding€ (which would later become the theme song to Groucho€s popular TV series You Bet Your Life), this classic comedy earned a place on the AFI€s 100 Years€¦100 Movie Quotes list.
