Script review - "Duck Soup"

The Marx brothers most anarchic, political and beloved-by-hardcore-fans movie. This draft of the script offers some intriguing differences - Rufus Firefly is appointed dictator, there are some key comedy sequences in the second half that were replaced (there is a lot more of the final war, no mirror or trial sequence, instead there are other ones). It's done in terms of sequences, up to K. It's fascinating to see how tightly scripted the action on screen was. The freewheeling, mad cap nature of the movie bounces off the page.
