Finally did Duck Soup btw - y'all were right, those dudes were hilarious! Hadn't laughed that hard at a movie in a long time. Kids near me were cracking up too.
Is it the original of the "person pretends to be someone else's mirror image" bit? Or is that old vaudeville stuff?

i imagine that's as old as mirrors tbhyou really really need to do night at the opera

there is at least one silent film directed by McCarey that also has the same mirror bit.
ANatO is also essential, but has the 'fat' of the love interest for 'regular people' in the audience. ("What people?" asked Pauline Kael.) None of that shit in Duck Soup.

Will keep my eyes out for the next time it comes through one of the big screens - probably won't have to wait too long. Had such fun with Duck Soup as part of an audience, feel like I'd be losing out to just get it from the library.
― dustalo springsteen (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 13 November 2016 15:44 (seven years ago) link
That reminds me of seeing Duck Soup on the big screen in Boston many years ago. The audience was in hysterics.

Frankie and Lola was overwrought, woman-as-object, "oh the impotence of men's rage" film noir with knockout performances by the leads but very little emotional payoff and a great deal of jerking around

Hardly snobbish but I might make Wizard of Oz at UPCA on Sunday my first trip up there since King Kong a couple years back. Never seen it on the big screen and it's such a cool venue.
